Like A Fish....Sorta

When we go to Maryland this summer we are going to go to the beach for the first time. Tyler still has some issues in the bathtub with water and we don't want him terrified of the ocean so we figured it would help to give him some lessons. Tyler has taken mommy and me lessons before, but now that he is three he will go in the pool with just his teacher. He will have 10 lessons Monday-Friday for two weeks. At first I thought that would be way to intense, but it worked out that he would be done right before we leave so we are giving it a try. He will be in a class with about 4 or 5 other kids.

He had his first lesson last night. He was so excited before hand and it's all he could talk about. We got there a little early so he could watch the another lesson. He just wanted in the water and to see who his teacher was. When it was time for his class I took him over and while a little timid at first he never looked back. At first we didn't even want to sit down in the water but warmed up quickly. His favorite part was throwing a ring and then crawling in the foot of water to get the ring. He also worked on blowing bubbles, kicking, and jumping in the water to the teacher. He did have a hard time listening to the teacher and he kept swimming (crawling) off so I am hopeful he will do better in that area today. He is so excited to go back again! Carter did pretty well just watching and then was excited to go to the park with Justin during the second half of the lesson. We keep telling him that soon enough he will get to take the lessons as well.
