Thom has been helping out with swimming in Ben's class gym class every Wednesday.  This last Wednesday, as we were walking home from the bus stop, Ben excitedly described how Thom held him in the water while he was floating on his back.  Then, Thom would let go and allow Ben to float on his own for a moment.  At the end of the story, Ben exclaimed enthusiastically, "I only drowned twice!"
