One Fish, Two Fish

Thanks to Deborah for the Dr.Seuss reference. A few weeks ago the boys took some swim lessons with their friends over in Pflugerville. It was 8 x 45 minute classes over 2 weeks. The boys did really well. We were a little concerned about how Jeremy would handle class. Usually, he doesn't do well in big crowds and shies away from everyone. If theres a new skill involved, typically Jordan jumps right in and picks it up while Jeremy says, "no, thanks." On hid own time, after he has seen his brother attempt said activity several times and live, then he will give it a shot. Once he tries it, he picks it up pretty quick and sometimes starts doing things better than Jordan.

We were par for the course when it came to swimming. Jordan was gung-ho and ready to go. Jeremy was a little timid. They both warmed up to their teacher real quick though and she had them splashing around and getting used to the water. Now the boys have a ton of confidence in the water compared to last year in the pool. Last summer Jeremy couldn't even get splashed in the face or there might be a meltdown. Now both boys are jumping in the pool without any assistance, just needing us there after the resurface. They can swim from the pool steps out to us, and then back. It is so much fun to see them kicking around and going under water. Hopefully by next season they'll be swimming all on their own.

And of course, we got tons of pictures from the swim lessons. You can check them out below or at our Shutterfly page.
