Swimming Lessons

(he is the blur on the left here, making an escape to go on the slide!)

Ben has started swimming lessons on Tuesday and Thursday. Swim guppies level 1! He is such a little fish that he could have gone in the older class I think. It is going really well, has no fear of the water, but learning things as well. The hardest part so far has been leaving the pool in one piece (he always wants to stay longer). He loves dunking his head, laying on his back and kicking and holding his breath. It's fun to sit back and watch him with his instructor! It's a small class (just three other boys his age) but I think that is good.. he doesn't always like large groups of kids. Over stimulation!

Mike took him swimming on Saturday afternoon while Daisy and I went shopping. His instructor Ann was there. She came up to say hello but he didn't recognize her because she didn't have her swim cap on!
