Mommy and Angel Goes Swimming

I don’t know if its just a coincident or it has been a habit for our family to go swimming every time somebody will leave. It’s like our own way of telling our daughter that Mommy or Daddy has to go somewhere to go which we can’t tell her directly. Saying goodbye to your child is one of the hardest thing to say. Since swimming is Angela’s favorite activity aside from eating, this act like a bribe for her.

So, yesterday we went out swimming. Goodness the weather didn’t make it hard for us. Two days ago, it was raining the whole in Davao but yesterday’s weather is just perfect for swimming. It wasn’t too hot but from time to time a cloud came over us to give us some shade.

And as usual, Angela just love playing with waters. Splashing and tapping it like a pillow. But I also teach her basic for swimming. I’ve found out that it’s hard to teach a child to swim especially for someone who thinks water is like a toy. She loves playing with water but can’t trust the water to hold her for floating. However, after giving her some floaties on her both arms, little by little she started to let herself to float and paddle her arms and feet to go wherever she wants. It’s just a simple swimming but as a proud mommy, I always have my hands to clap every time she managed to reach the edge of the pool with her dog-style swimming.
