Swim Lessons

Kate was so excited to go to swim lessons on Monday. The session just started and this is her very first time doing swim lessons. It's two days a week for 5 weeks. She is in the preschool class and she's the smallest one in there- size and probably age. There's only 5 kids in the class and when I went to enroll her the director questioned me putting her in the preschool class since she won't turn 3 until the end of the month (you have to be at least 3 years old or turn 3 during the session). His concern was that she might not go into the water without me going with her. I kind of had to laugh inside when he said that because her problem isn't going into the water- she escaped from me one time we went to a pool and almost got into the deep end by herself and she loves the water!!! My concern is that she won't listen to the teacher or his instructions. So it was pretty funny during the lesson when he would have to remind Kate to stay with the class, put her back up against the wall and stay in the pool. He had to tell other kids this too and for the most part she did good. She had a smile on her face almost the whole class time. She kept yelling out "this is so fun! This is so fun!" It was cute. She even started to cry when we the class was over because she wanted to "go to swim lessons." I think it will be good for her to listen to someone other than me or Kyle and to be in a class. I have some videos to post that show her wandering away from the group, but they wouldn't upload- I thought they were funny. I'll keep trying.






Preston was so tired since he didn't get his morning nap and ended up falling asleep in his bouncy chair! I looked at him one minute and he was bouncing away and then I looked at him again and saw him asleep. So cute. I didn't think it was possible to fall asleep in between bouncing. :)

Way cute! Are the classes good? I want to enroll Jorden and Cadence in swimming lessons eventually. Cadence is probably still a little bit young, but Jorden could probably do it... unless they require them to be potty trained...

She looks way cute in her little swimsuit! I'm glad she enjoys her classes!

Hahaha about Preston... sleeping babies are great!

Love that! Carson doesn't want to do swim lessons again this year on the account that "I almost drown" last year. Whatever. As for Preston, it must be in the name. Our Preston has fallen asleep in the most bizarre places. It's the bomb.

That is so cute! I love that he's using his arm as a pillow :)

Swimming lessons are the best to wear them out. Does it work on Kate?

Love Preston sleeping in his seat. Adorable!

Swimming lessons are a good idea. I never really thought about doing yet. I was a lot older when I finally took lessons. I should get on the ball, and get Cinderella in some lessons. You'll have to let me know what pool you go through.
