Swim Class

This summer's swim lesson sessions have marked two big milestones: Nathan's first swim class without a parent in the pool, and Natalie's first swim class ever.  Nathan was really nervous about getting in the pool without one of us.  He spent the first half of the first class crying in Todd's arms.  Eventually he was up for venturing in the water, and has become steadily more comfortable with the class.  Needless to say, we are going to build on the positive momentum and keep him in class for the fall session.

Here are some pics from the last class of the summer session:

Natalie absolutely loves swim class!  She's a huge fan of the bathtub, and thinks it's awesome that the pool is like a big bathtub that Mommy and Daddy get in as well.  She isn't too worried when we dunk her under the water, she loves to kick her legs and splashes her hand in the water when we sing "the horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep."  So cute!
