Blue wristband!

We, like every other family, went to the Y to swim this afternoon. It was pretty busy especially compared to when we usually swim and have the pool to ourselves. However today Odin watched a lot of boys and girls take the shallow water swim test. To pass you need simply to float on your belly for 5 seconds, stand up then float on your back for 5 seconds. He has been capable of doing this for quite some time, but has objected to putting his face in the water intermittently. Today he practiced a bunch then tried it and PASSED! Now he can swim by himeslf and I can sit in the hot tub! Or I can swim with him and not have to be within arm's reach!
He is very proud and excited don't be fooled by his expression, he was beside himself with glee.
