Swim Lessons

Swim lessons at the class my boys all go to starts at age 3. They made an exception for Henry this year, because he's such a water baby. I was nervous about his ability to stay on the steps and listen to the instructors (parents don't get in for this class). They are expected to sit on the stairs patiently until it's their turn. I wasn't sure he could do it - he's 2, after all. But, he did awesome! He swallowed so much water though, because he had a continuous smile on his face. He'd go underwater - and come up with a huge smile on his face. We spend a lot of summer at our neighbor's pools, and Henry keeps his life jacket on, but swims independently. It's so nice that I don't have to put a swim suit on and get in every time. He jumps off the diving board at our neighbor's pool - goes underwater - and swims to the edge of the pool. Yipee!!!
