THE little boy who was hurled 100ft from Tate Modern by a stranger is now learning to swim.
His family said he had also adopted a golden retriever and was making progress with his walking and balance.

And he was doing well at school, getting over problems with reading and writing.
The update comes more than four years after the French lad, then six and on holiday with his parents, was thrown from a tenth-floor balcony of the London gallery in a random act of violence.
He sustained a brain bleed, spine fractures and broken limbs.
His parents said they had finally found an instructor willing to teach their son to swim.
They said: “The aim is to enable him to gain autonomy in the water, despite his limitations.
“Our son is very happy with the progress he’s able to make.”
They said their dog was bringing joy into their home, adding: “Our son loves playing with him and is pleased to note the dog does a lot more mischief than him.”
The boy’s attacker, Jonty Bravery, then 17, was jailed for attempted murder in 2020.
