We Have a SWIMMER!!

I am so sad swim is over. The last day was yesterday. James did so well. Tom wanted the parents to get in the pool with the kids for one day so the parent gets the "power" in the pool and he could show you how to continue practicing with them. What to do and what not to do. So I got into the pool yesterday with James and Jake. Luckily my Mom was with me to help with Jake. Tom first showed me what to do with Jake and to only do about 3 swims with him. I just can't get over how it is just a natural thing for babies to hold their breath. After that my Mom took Jake and I practiced with James. James was excited for Mommy to get in the pool and wanted me to "swim". I kept telling him I am and he was getting kinda upset, he wanted to me to go under! Mommy doesn't want to get her hair wet! Good example huh? It was freezing outside and we weren't going home after the lesson! James is just a fish in the water, he loves swimming now. He was jumping in off the side and swimming to me with no problems! I can't wait for summer now so we can go swimming all the time! I have a feeling we will be at my Mom's every day in the pool!
I am so thankful for Tom and can't wait for Jake to do lessons with him!

Yeah for the swim graduate! You'll have to swim with him all summer long because it just makes him get better and better! :)
