Swimming lessons!

This summer Aaron and I decided to enroll Will in some swimming lessons... without Mommy.  Will's been in lessons since he was about 6 months old... but always with me in the water with him.  It took some adjustment, but I think by the end he was finally ok being in the water with Ms. Rachel and just having Mommy watch him.  Although, being comfortable with Ms. Rachel still didn't stop him from leaving the pool every 5 minutes just to make sure I was still there... and I think to test our patience with him. 

He learned how to scoop peanut butter and jelly with his hands... aka.. reach and pull.  He jumped off the wall and went under water!  He swam like superman and did a great job keeping his chin in the water. We're excited to keep swimming this summer so we can practice some of the things we learned from Ms. Rachel in the last couple of weeks.

I took some pictures of him during his last lesson this past Thursday... he was quite excited to show off his skills for the camera!!




This is the worst picture of him... but for some reason it made me laugh...











He's under!



And he's up and swimming...
