To swim or not to swim??

Learning how to put his face in the water.
Learning how to float on his back

Floating with little help!


Almost there!
Ready to go!!!

Well, I finally got around to signing Connor up for swim lessons and guess what?? He LOVES it! He was a little apprehensive to get into the water with someone he didn't know, but his teacher Bonnie knew exactly what to do. She was so patient and kind with him and he really likes her. They are working on putting his face under water, not breathing through his nose and floating. He did great! He was floating on his back all by himself by the end of the lesson. This is such a relief for me. Bonnie put some goggles on him and I thought he was going to freak out. Well, he has been wearing them since we got home. He took a bath tonight and wore them the whole time! He now has very deep rings around his eyes. Hope they go away before we go to school tomorrow. :)

He loves the water and sometimes he doesn't realize the danger he puts himself in when he can't hear me. So, we will continue these lessons through the summer and I bet he will give Grandpa quite a run for his money!
