Walking in water aka Look, No hands Ma!

Pat made me promise to brave the slow internet connections and post about how well he is doing in the swimming pool.  Today he walked the short length of the pool 20 times in about an hour. 

But that isn't the amazing part. The truly incredible thing is that he did it all by himself.  Yes, that's right, no walker, no one holding his hands, no support.  In fact, most of the time I was floating around on my back splashing water at him with my feet.  He has done this a few times before, but never that many times and never without someone to help him turn around once he gets to the other side. 

It could be that he is running scared because I gave him an ultimatum.  Pick up the pace with his walking or find a job.  Guess that tells us which one he would rather do.  :)
