Betty Boop took her first swim this month, too. I had a life jacket on her and put her on a raft. She really liked that. I have pictures in my album of her. The life jacket makes her cough so I took it off of her and held her over the water and her feet began swimming before they hit the water!! Pretty funny looking! She likes the water but also likes it when she can swim to the steps to get out! Then she runs around like a little banshee and comes back to the steps and jumps on the raft, that is waiting for her, and swims some more.

However, she came to the edge of the pool and jumped in by herself. She sank like a rock!! I was nearby and rescued her. It was a real confidence crusher for her! She hasn't done that since. I think that made her a little leary of getting into the water. She didn't know about water at the time, but learned quickly.
