Quite the Swimmer!

Nicholas, who for the past couple of weeks has been swimming with arm-floats, no longer requires anyone hold onto him in the water. He is able to kick his hands and feet to propell himself in whatever direction he desires, and does not mind when we let go of him and let him swim on his own. He also likes to jump into the water from the edge of the pool and does not get upset when he goes under water -- although it scares us when he comes up coughing-up water (and laughing, of course!).

Pledge of Allegience, Part II

Nicholas has officially recited the Pledge several times, from beginning to end. He's still a little shy about doing it "on the spot" but has said it for several family members over the phone. He had trouble with "indivisible" at first, but is now saying that part, too!
