First Day of Swimming Lessons

We started swimming lessons yesterday.  I think Nathan is really going to enjoy them!  He loves the water, so he happily got into the pool at the beginning of class.  Then, about 5 minutes in, right about the time the teacher was trying to get him to do something (kick), he started to become a little unsure of the whole thing.  Uncle Casey was standing on the side of the pool videotaping and Nathan decided he would rather be outside of the pool with him.  He started crying for Casey.  Luckily, our teacher knew just what to do...he brought out a ball and a toy fish.  Of course, as soon as Nathan saw the ball, he turned his attention to that.  He calmed down and loved the rest of the lesson.  In fact, he wanted to go back today!  When I asked him what he wanted to do today, he said "yellow ball; fish."  Hopefully our teacher brings the yellow ball and fish to all of our future lessons!








Of course, we played at Purple Dragon after our swimming lessons.  Here is Nathan standing proudly with the cake he made in the kitchen.

The cake Nathan made in the kitchen at Purple Dragon and the caterpillar he made in the art room.

Pooped after a long morning of swimming and playing.  He fell asleep in his stroller before we even made it home.

After nap, he finally got to enjoy the cake he made!
