Liam is on my mind right now and I wanted to write about his accomplishments in the last week, which are so huge and such a big deal for him. On Saturday, just one day after starting swimming lessons with his brother, he began swimming, unassisted by floaties or a kick board. Today, he taught himself how to do the back stroke, completely submerged in water (he prefers underwater swimming to anything on top of the water). He is also reading like a champ. Both of these things make him feel so good about himself and we are so proud of his hard work.

I continue to marvel at his giving spirit, which I've seen several times this week, in his interactions with Lily.

I love this little boy more than words will ever say. I am so blessed to be his mother. So very blessed.
