Regan first swim without the turtle.

Dwayne tossed him across the pool many many times. He loved it. Dwayne got out, and I got in. Regan asked me to “fly me far Mom.” I knew I was not capable of flying him very far at all so I told him he could “fly” himself off the diving board. He thought this was a brilliant idea.

It started like this. It took some doing to convince him that he could do it without his turtle.

And then we couldn’t tear him away. He slept like a rock this night.
