This summers swim lessons where different then the ones before, because this was the first year for Cody! Although it went completely horrible for him I think some learning came from it? Well at least I hope so! He would not have anything to do with getting in the water, so the instructor just let him sit on the side of the pool for a little while til he finally seemed to persuade Cody into at least getting into the side of the pool. Still not convinced this is what he wanted to do he started crying. It took everything I had to not go rescue him, but I had to let the instructor handle it, they are excellent instructors and they know what they are doing! Their knowledge with children and water of course paid off and he had Cody floating through the water with him singing "motor boat, motor boat"! That's about as far as Cody got this year, but it is way farther than I had anticipated so I am very happy with that! The cutest part was when Cody was crying, The instructor asked if he could make ice cream scoops with his hands and move them through the water, and Cody still crying said "okay" in this sweet little voice and did his ice cream scoops:)
Riley had a great year with swim lessons, she moved up to the point to where she was swimming the length of the pool all by her self!! Also Jumping off of the high dive and swimming to the side with no life vests or floaters of any kinds! We were soooo PROUD of her progress!!
