Hurray for James!!

James did a really big thing today! You know how all the slides at pools have a height limit? Well, James passed the swimming test so that he could go on the slides with out being 48" tall. He had to swim all the way across the pool without touching the bottom or hanging onto the side and he made it!! I was so proud of him. When he first tried, he did not understand that he could not grab the side. So then we had to practice and he finally made it. Then we had to show the lifeguard and by then he was so tired I was worried he wouldn't make it. But he did. He was sooooo happy and he ran up the stairs as fast as he could! Then he sat on the side of the pool for the next 20 min because he was so tired from all of his swimming. Here is his patch that he has to wear on his suit so that the lifeguards know that he passed the test and does not have to be so tall!
