Erica: Charles swam today with his face in the water all by himself.
Dad: Excellent. He’s making real progress.
Charles: I can swim.
Dad: That’s good, Charles.
Charles: I can swim when I four.
Dad: You can swim when you’re four?
Charles: Yes. I not swim when I three.
Dad: Oh.
Charles: But I not three now. I four. Every day.
Charles does seem to be making good progress on being able to swim. We’re thinking about putting him on swim team next year. For his age, as long as he can make it to the other end of the pool he should qualify. Charles is definitely excited now about being on swim team, but next summer is a long time off. We’ll see how it goes.
