Swim Lessons

We started our first round of swim lessons a few weeks ago; we are actually on our last week that's how behind I am! We decided to partner up with one of David's buddies to do semiprivate lessons at the YMCA. It was originally set for 30 minute lessons with both boys in the water at the same time with one instructor, but we learned quickly that was not going to work out. Think about it....2 two year olds in the pool, both with stranger anxiety, screaming and crying. It was a mess! We decided we would split the lessons up 15 minutes per child with the instructor and with a little M&M bribery it has worked for the last 2 1/2 weeks. Out of a total of 10 lessons David screamed through 5 of them, and as a mother it was difficult to sit back and watch. The funny thing about it was while he was screaming and crying he was doing exactly what the instructor was telling him to do and learned quite a bit! Must be a natural.

Here are a few snapshots of our swimming lesson adventure Summer 2010. Mommy got the whistle blown at her because apparently no cameras are allowed in the pool area...oops!!
