the second week in june was swimming lessons for the kids. we had a lot of fun, and both kids got to have their cousins in their class with them.
christopher did awesome, and has really progressed a lot. he puts his face in the water, is practicing floating on his back, will hold his breath and swim under water for a bit, and jumps in water over his head and then swims back to the side.
the last day of class, they got to cross the dragon (floating forms, that look like the back of a dragon), and here he is waiting for his turn
naomi was thrilled to get to have her own lessons this year. she did great in the water, and the only problems we had were her standard not listening ones. i was happy with how she did. she worked on "digging" in the water, kicking, blowing bubbles, laying on her back, and going under water. going under is still not her favorite thing to do, but she doesn't cry or panic anymore, so i'm proud of her for that.
the last day of lessons, we went out for lunch to celebrate how well everyone had done, which was a lot of fun.

this is kind of silly, but i thought the progressions of pictures was funny.
me: dave, let's get a picture of the two of us.
me: smile!
dave: what?
dave: oh, smile?
dave: like this?
sarah: you make me laugh
dave: aren't i funny? :)
we're all excited to spend as much time as we can at the pool this summer, and use all the fun skills the kids learned at lessons!
