sink or swim - Day 2 of swimming lessons

Sam was still timid about having any water come near his face, but he did grow more and more comfortable paddling and kicking using the dumbbell for support as well as Eric's hand. Yesterday he wouldn't let Eric put the bucket of water over his head, but today he did just fine. The best part is that there wasn't any blood curdling screams when he did get water in his face. He'd just wiggle himself away to a different part of the bench. Julia entertained herself with blowing bubbles and reading a book and I tried not to snap a picture of every little move Sam made. :)
