Proud Mama at the Pool

Every day for the past week or so we have been hanging out at the pool. I would like to say we were enjoying sun and sand, but we were actually at the pool for swimming lessons.

Jonah has been a bit timid when it comes to the water, so we decided it would be good for him to take swimming lessons. So I signed both the boys up and headed for the pool.

I did not think that Jonah would even come close to passing his class because he didn't like putting his head under the water. In order to pass the class he would need to do 10 bobs in the water, which didn't seem very likely to me.

I am happy to say that I have been pleasantly surprised! Jonah has taken to the water like a little fish. By the fourth day he was putting his entire head under the water multiple times! I was so amazed.

Instead of getting out of the water with dry hair, he comes out wet all over every time. It makes me so proud!

Eli has been enjoying his little class as well. It has been nice for me that I haven't had to try to keep him out of the water and entertained!

So both boys LOVE swimming lessons! They get to play games in the water and splash around with their teacher and friends. Jonah is having so much fun that the first thing he asks me each morning is if we get to go to swimming lessons today.  Guess maybe we'll sign up for a second session later in the session.
