Swimming Lessons

Photos coming soon....

Tonight was Brandon's first swimming lesson. It was a parent/child class and dad went in the pool with him while mom watched and took pictures. Walking in I kept thinking to myself, "Ugh...bad mom alert I should have started him a LONG time ago in these lessons". I was SHOCKED to see that Brandon was the youngest in his class (of 12 kids or so) and most the others were at least 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years old and they haven't done any lessons either. I couldn't believe he was the youngest one!

He did GREAT considering it had been a while since we were in a pool (a month or so). He cried for the first minute when he had to stand on the side and 'jump' in. He wasn't too sure but then he did great. He floated and blew bubbles and jumped in the water- even going under! Played Hokey Pokey, catch with floaty toys (encourages them to swim to the toy) and even Pop, Goes The Weasel.

Good Job Bear! SOOOOO proud of you!
