He kept putting his face in the water, but he knew exactly what to do - he knew to blow out his nose and mouth!
He wanted to jump straight in. So I let him stand on the steps and jump to me. But then he wanted me to move out of the way. I said "No way - I'm catching you." So he gave in and let me catch him.
And if you'll notice, he's got a little Matchbox car in his left hand that he held onto the whole time he was swimming.
For a special treat, we gave Luke an ice cream bar. As you can see, he enjoyed it very much. However, he didn't feel the urgency to eat it quickly - doesn't understand the whole melting problem. Anyway, that's why we were outside!
This is his newest thing ... hiding his face with his hand. He's done this in various different situations - when he acts shy and then when he's mad at me and doesn't want to look at me, and also when playing peek-a-boo. I think it's funny. Who knows where he learned that one.
