Swim Lessons!

This summer Brian has been taking swim lessons! His first lesson was incredibly traumatic. As in, Brian was "that kid" on the side of pool screaming, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

They got better. And now Brian enjoys the pool. He's not a little fish by any means, but he likes a little splashing from time to time. Trust me, we'll take it!

Daddy was busy on Saturday, taking the GMAT, so Nana came along to swim lessons so we could get some pictures! Here are a few.


Being "a monkey" along the wall.


One, two three, JUMP!


Learning to use the ladder to get out and back in.


The ball is a tool to try to get the kids to use their arms to "swim." Being the lazy child that he is, Brian waits until we are close and then reaches one arm out to grab it. Every.Single.Time.


Really the balls are the only reason we go. Balls are a great bribe for 2 year olds.


And the splashing, he's really enjoying the splashing!

"The kids on the bus go up and down." We also do the pool version of "Ring Around The Rosy." Except we all go UNDER instead of falling down. You should see the sputtering and frantic face wiping that follows!



Me and my boy :)
