Therapy by water...

So many things amaze me as I watch him grow. But I am most amazed by what we know and feel instinctively from the first day we are born. I grew up with stories of how tiny babies were put in water at a very early age - to force them to swim. This is not an old wives tale - this is done in villages in India and, in fact, was done to my mum. She swims like a fish !


Take bath-time... we try to bathe him fairly often, and although initial water shock induces screams and baby-profanity, he quickly warms to his bath fairly nicely (no pun intended). Much like your average Beverly Hills socialite, he seems to find it calming, soothing and comes out of the whole experience re-energized...
