I believe these pictures speak for themselves, but I will write something anyway! 
Nathan and I have spent LOTS of time at the pool! I prayed for a water baby and I sure got one! He wants to be in the water, moving around, jumping in from the side and floating! He had a floaty ring that just didn’t cut it. It didn’t give him the freedom he wanted and me the security I needed. He also had a floaty ring with a seat in it. Gave me more security but still didn’t offer him freedom to move about the pool without me hovering! I tried a life jacket and my son turned in to a turtle (toe-toe). He would get deep in the water and would be so boyant that he would float to the top and then roll over on his back! Funny, but not too funny! I thought about getting arm floaties. I had some and they were wonderful, but the package says that they are for kids 3+. Nathan is a year and a half! However, I saw several other kiddos his age or younger wearing these arm floaties and doing well with them. I talked to their parents and got a resounding two thumbs up! I purchased some, put them on Nathan and he never looked back! HE LOVES THEM! As you can tell by the pictures, they have given him more freedom and I am not hovering. I still keep a watchful eye and maintain a close distance, but he just goes now! In the bigger pool he lets go of me and floats. He has even started kicking his legs and moving himself from one place to another! Thank God for my sweet water baby! Notice how blonde his hair is getting from being at the pool so much!
Notice that smile! Pure joy! He loves being in the pool and having the added freedom that these floaties give him!
