TJ finished his first session of swimming lessons this morning. What fun watching him progress. It was his first experience in a teacher/class setting, and he did very well.He started out completely unwilling to get in the pool, and tonight was blowing bubbles in the bathtub. He has fun, and his instructor is good about playing with the kids and making it a fun time, even when it started out scary.
He still needs to work on getting his face and head in the water, but it has been a great start for him. He can get in and out of the water all by himself. He can bob up and down while hanging onto the edge. He can do assisted back and front floats and roll over. We just need to work on blowing bubbles through his nose and retrieving objects from the water. I am so happy with the progress he has made. He likes being in the water now.
M has been rather jealous of her brother. She wants to get into the water too.

TJ is so cute! I'm so happy that he finally has gotten in the water! I bet M was SO jealous. I imagine the word "bubble" was used a lot that day? These kids are growing up so fast, I didn't know TJ was old enough for swimming lessons. We'll have to see his progress on Labor Day!
What a Great Picture! I love TJs suit. It's perfect!
I love the way he notices things and comments on his observations. And I love the way he pretends, like taking Grampa' to check on the alligator in the storage unit of the trailer.
