Auntie Elicia has been taking Matt swimming in the hotel pool about once a week for a few months now. Last night Auntie deemed Matt ready for Phase II of swimming, Independence. She hooked him up with some sweet water wings and some other floaties for the pool. Thanks Auntie!
Coincidentally I had brought the video camera to the pool! The first part of the video is right after he got in and was getting warmed up, the end is just before we got out. He did about an hour total in the pool, kicking like a madman the whole time.
My favorite (of course) is that when asked if he wants to go SCUBA diving he instantly switches to laying flat and doing a frog kick rather than the vertical bicycle kick. Enjoy.

Happy birthday, Matthew! I can't wait to see your birthday pictures!
He is probably a little small to do it, but Matthew I bet would love to see someone blow water out of one end of the pool noodles.
Love, Isaac
Isaac - We did that! After a couple times he thought it was funny. Good story about today for you... we went to the park, and Matt kept digging (like a dog flinging dirt) in the mole hill dirt. Pretty funny, until he paused... looked up at us and asked concerned, "It won't bite you?" (meaning the mole) We assured him it wouldn't... but he was a lot more cautious after that thought occured to him. TOO SMART! ;-) Also, we put him in the 1, 2, Pi, 4 shirt you got for him today! CUTE!
Isaac, Uncle Ryan was doing that for him the pool. He was pretending to be an elephant!
Wow, Matt! With that great blowing ability, you will be ready for Uncle James to show you how to play the trombone in no time. Happy birthday to the best 2 year old around. We love you and miss you.
