Swimming Lessons

Parker took swimming lessons over the weekend!  This was his second year to take.  I was so excited for him to start because we have gone to the pool a few times, and has been fearless!  He has no problem jumping off the side and going under water whether someone is ready to catch him or not!  I am so thankful for this little floaty...

He can jump, swim, and float on his back, all by himself with that floaty on!  Anyway,  the first day he did ok.  It took him a little while to warm up to his teacher, Mrs. Madelaine.  Ok, maybe like 45 minutes to warm up.  He did great the last fifteen minutes though!  The second day he did so good.  He was jumping off the side and going underwater.  The third day, was pretty bad.  I had to wake him up from an already short nap.  He did not want to go!  He finally got in the pool when he saw his aunt's swimming.  Of course, he ONLY wanted to swim to Ann Marie and Rebecca.  Overall,  he did great.  By the end of the weekend he was holding his breathe when he went under water, and learning to ask before he jumped in the pool.  Definitely a good thing!  Here is a little video and a few pictures from his swimming lessons.

This pic is my favorite :)
