Growing Up

We are fortunate to live near a lake which provides us with free swimming on hot summer days. One such day provided me with a chance to realize that I take the young age of my children for granted.

While walking out into the water, my young daughter complete with water wings, started to kick her legs around. I noticed that she was struggling a little, so I encouraged her to start paddling with her arms as well. Before either of us realized it, she was swimming! It may have only been a doggie paddle that was crude at best, but she was moving through the water without any help from her parents.

Since when does a child practically teach herself to swim? I immagined myeself taking her to a mommy and me class sometime, but I haven't gotten around to signing us up for one. Did I miss something? I don't think so, unless you count her early childhood that has been passing way to quickly.
