Puddle Jumper for Poppy!

Lauren, Lolli, Molly and Poppy went swimming at Cindy's house today. Poppy refused to go in her lily pad float and insisted on "swimming" with the big kids. So Lauren borrowed Stella's puddle jumper life jacket (like water wings with a band around the chest) and let Poppy try them out. She actually did pretty great! She mastered floating on her tummy and on her back, although she didn't care for floating on her back. And she was actually able to keep her legs under her for a few seconds. She's got a long way to go because she's really proficient in using them, but for 12.5 months she's not doing too bad!

And, as always, Lolli swam great in her puddle jumper! It might be about time to try her in something a little less helpful. Maybe one of those foam bands around her chest, but with no arm bands?
