SWIM LESSONS!

Tonight was our first night of swim lessons and it was a lot of fun! We are taking swim lessons all week at Amarillo Town Club. It's inside and in the smaller pool so it's pretty easy and not deep. Tonight's lesson was all about getting them under water, floating on their tummies and moving arms like they would be swimming alone. Gage did SO good! He went under water real well and didn't come back up crying or anything. His eyes were pretty big when he came back up though. There were two other families there and they all said Gage had to go first under water because he was the oldest. :-) The swim lessons are for kids 6 months-36 months of age. So, under he went. He did really well! The other babies there were 6 months, so they were pretty little still, but they did just as good. Gage ended up laughing and making his usual motor sounds with his mouth....now only if we can take that to the water and make bubbles! He floated on his tummy really good (with us holding him of course) and Joe and I even practiced him swimming to the two of us. It was a lot of fun! Gage even held onto the side of the pool all by himself!! I coudn't believe it! He was so tired that on the way home from the Town Club he fell fast asleep. So sweet! What an incredible little boy we have! We are so BLESSED!

We will go the rest of the week and come out swimming pros I am sure. My friend Janice told me last year on the last day of swim lessons you get to go down the BIG slide outside. We shall see....stay tuned for more swim lesson stories and pics of hopefully the big slide at the end of this week.
