The Bean is Learning to Swim


"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams,

....and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined,

one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." ~ Henry David Thoreau~

  3. Yea for the Bean... It's very important for kids to learn to swim and what an adventure it looks like he's having.

    Thanks for sharing. That little guy has my heart, but then you know that already...

  5. It looks like Bean was enjoying himself. I believe all children should learn to swim at an early age. I myself love to swim and was fortunate to be able to teach some of my grandchildren to swim. Have a great day Connie.

  7. I had no peace of mind until each of my boys could swim & they swam competitively for many years. They became at home as much in the water as on land. I took oldest GS to swim lessons it is SO important. The Bean is a keeper, so cute, & Noni's Thoreau quote is perfection!
    I have baby Matt today! And tomorrow.....
