Day 150:
What a day for the Lion Heart, Boy'O! You and I once again had swimming lessons this morning though Mommy stayed behind to get a few things done at the house. Today was absolutely magnificent as far as the weather was concerned, Son. A bright and breezy Saturday morning and me and you making our way to the pool, windows down, music up, both of us smiling. Not surprisingly you were an absolute joy once again... And without being able to take instruction for not being able to understand the commands, you instinctively keep your arms out and kick your legs to cruise the water. Even the instructor was impressed, saying she'd never seen such a young student work as hard!
I now know what it means to beam with pride for something far greater than my own accomplishment, Conor... And all you did was use basic instinct to kick your legs... Though the whole pool noticed while yet the majority of the other kids, ages 14 months to 3 years did little more than cry...
I'd love to tell myself that you're simply more advanced than the other kids though knowing full well you're simply doing what human instinct tells you. Still, you didn't cry and they did... That says something...
Following that it was off to meet the new life of some old friends, Melissa and Josh's new daughter, Hudson. She's quite the shining gem, Conor, and undoubtedly someone you'll know for many years to come.
That's all for tonight, Boy'O. I love you very much.
-Dad
