Water Babies

Jaxon sees Grandad even more than ever now.

We've been spending quite a bit of time over at the Hendrick Rehab Pool.

David managed to talk his dad into exercising in the pool, even if it meant just walking very slowly. We were all very pleasantly surprised when his dad agreed to try it out. We broke out the extra pair of swimming trunks and his dad loved it so much, we've been going 2 to 3 times a week for the past 4 weeks or so now.

He loves the feeling of buoyancy, and weightlessness, as well as all the strain it takes off of his knees and ankles. He's doing more and more laps and truly enjoys his time at the pool.

David usually walks/swims when his dad is exercising, while I cruise around the pool with Jaxon in his stroller. When the boys have had enough, I take a dip and do a few laps while David takes over "Jaxon duty".
