When You Gotta Go...

The Gremlin has been enrolled in yet another swimming class. While we haven't seen the original instructor after that class ended, swimming has enthralled the Gremlin to the point where he is able to locate, un-stow, take into the pool, and stand up on the surfboard. He also greatly enjoys climbing out of the pool, turning around, and jumping back into the pool.

So the other day he and his mother were at free swim. Attempting to at least try to keep him above water for an entire session, his mother was holding him under his arms, facing out, when she noticed that he had stopped kicking, splashing, everything.

Worried that something had happened, she turned him around. His eyes were closed and his head was lolling off to the side. She quickly swam to the side and pulled him out of the pool at which time he opened his eyes and said, "More swim, Mama?" and promptly ... fell back asleep. That's right, he had fallen asleep in the middle of the pool at 10am on a Saturday.
