Penelope has always loved the water. But our last 2 or 3 visits to the pool, she has shown marked improvement with holding her own. Today I didn't get in the water with her at all! She just scooted around in her life jacket and corrected herself when she tipped. She did great!! And then, she must've worked pretty hard, because she fell asleep at the lunch table in the very act of putting chips in her mouth.
