To Briggs credit, he didn't take the bait at yesterday's presser. Someone uttered something like "yo mane why ain't dat baby wearing no life vest??" Briggs was like "he's a good dad, but bad fighter."
Its funny....this photo brings up an interesting point. Vlad is basically more of a European than anything, I mean he might be slavic, I don't really know. Thing is in the United States, when I was a kid it was common place, I even have films of, our little asses running around with no sunscreen, going out in the water being held, sometimes even being thrown about to paddle...to learn to swim, etc.
BUT nowadays? I think you would be hard pressed to see a parent take a swim outwards with baby in tow. I mean I am not talking about at the surface letting baby dip in....Vlad is obviously out a bit with baby girl. I think in Europe people still are a bit more confidant about the ocean, I don't think Vlad is being reckless. It does kids a great amount of good to get used to water early. my mother...tough New York City gal taught us to swim by throwing us in the water and encouraging us as we paddled away! Today? My wife would have killed me if I tried that with my two boys!
