It is so lovely to watch Amelia in the water. Des and his friends flop and splash, they aren't totally confident in their ability to stay afloat. They always seem to be gasping and sputtering but having a great time.
Amelia, even when she doesn't know what she is doing, looks like she is in her element. She tries to swim the crawl and it isn't exactly graceful but when she tires she just turns onto her back and floats. The sun catches her and she closes her eyes and seems to be completely at peace.
When she plays she is like an otter. Diving under and popping up again, hair sleek at her head. She can spend hours by herself or she'll do crazy jumps off the dock with Des.
I love summer.
