Swim Lessons!!

So the last night we were in our old apartment was the start of sign-ups for swim lessons. I got on my computer at midnight and saw that I could register. SO, of course I jumped on the chance of registering. I was beyond thrilled!! We have been meaning to sign Aidan up for ages and have just never gotten around to it.

We wanted both kids to have some water knowledge before summer so we signed Brooke up for some parent-baby class. She loved it but was to shy to do much of anything until the last class or so. She was more than capable of doing all the things the instructor asked of us, but her sweet shy self wouldn't do them. Oh well. We opted to keep her out of the second session and will try again next fall/winter.

Aidan on the other hand was 1) the biggest kid in the class (surprise surprise) 2) a complete fish and 3) I thought to advanced for the class. That is until it came to back float. He sunk like a ship. So one day while Brooke and I were in lessons, John swam with Aidan and worked on his back float. That night at his class, he surprised his instructor and was floating like a pro!!! Needless to say the level that you stay in the longest, was only one session worth! We are so proud of the little man!!! He's our little fish!!! He is doing so well in the next level although is complaining that its to hard. We try and explain that it will get easier but he still says its hard. He does so great and always has a smile during class. We are probably taking a break throughout the summer since we'll be swimming most every day at our pool anyway. I expect come fall when we get back into lessons he'll be swimming like a pro!

I'm so thankful that both my kids LOVE the water so much but at the same time its harder with Brookie because she has no fear and will jump in without a second thought if we don't watch her and she gets to excited. We can't wait to be more fish like throughout this summer!!
