Swim Lessons

For the past two weeks Tommy, Ethan and Audrey have been doing private swim lessons. I think they had a lot of fun. Tommy is like me and could not float on his back for the life of him, he would sink to the bottom, but his teacher really worked with him and he got across the pool width wise on his back by the end. I was so proud. They also worked on there crawl stroke and pencil dive. He still has a long way to go, but also came a long way. I am so proud of Tommy. Even though the floating on his back never came easy to him, he never gave up or even got frusterated, he just kept trying.

Here they are- first day of class and ready to learn!!

Ethan and Tommy - working on there kicking and breathing!




This was Tommy's first attempt at a dive- he started out in diving position and ended like this. It was quite funny.


As the practices went on he got a lot better.



By the end, he was even doing a decent dive of the diving board.


Blake and Davie had a lot of fun at swimming lessons too, they got to play together in the kiddie pool.

Maria, I saw that your Baby Ticker is down to 81 days!! I was wondering how you were feeling... Physically and emotionally? Remember, we can always swap one kid if we ever have another girl (haha). Jenn
