Since Kimmie was starting school, I wanted to do something fun with David. This summer we discovered that he is very afraid of the water. He loves to play in it, but refused to swim. So, I decided that we would sign him up for swim lessons.
We were worried about how he would do, but his teacher, John, is amazing and very patient. David was a little stiff at first, and when John would take him in the water he would cling to him and say "can you please take me back?" Hey, at least he's polite, right??
The first 5 week session went great. By the end David was putting his whole head underwater and was more relaxed. He always talks about it and really looks forward to each lesson.
For the second session, we decided to sign Kimmie up too. Actually, they are taking the classes with two friends from church, Blayke & Beckham. They LOVE it!
Kimmie was a natural. She does whatever the teacher asks her and after yesterdays lesson #4 she was holding her head underwater for 6 seconds! David is also going great. He now stays underwater 3 seconds and loves to swim.
Joshua loves to watch them and I can already tell he loves the water. If he could, he would jump right in with them!
