Yesterday Ben brought hom a note from camp. It read: "Dear Mr. & Mrs. Kaplan, We would like to inform you that Ben did an amazing job at swimming today. He swam by himself, and even jumped in without holding on to someone. It is really a joy to have him in our camp group. Sincerely, Danielle, Marcus & Brian."
One of Ben's anxieties about the pool has always been jumping into the water by himself -- he just hasn't wanted to do it. Rather, he has wanted to, but just can never seem to work up the nerve, even when he knows the water is shallow enough for him to stand in. But yesterday he apparently conquered his fear, and coerced his counselors to send a note home to prove it. It is really remarkable how his confidence in the water and swimming ability have improved over the last few weeks. Great job, Ben!

maybe he can talk to Sofia, although her fear seems to be jumping in our pool as other pools don't pose a problem.
