Yesterday, Emily and Andrew took their first swimming lessons with Miss Allison. (Miss Allison taught the Mommy and Me class that Emily and I took starting when she was about 14 months.)
Emily's lesson was first. She showed Ms. Allison all she knew and then learned how to improve her leg movements, breathing technique, and started doing the forward stroke. Emily did an amazing job--as expected.
Andrew impressed Miss Allison when he was able to swim solo with boards on his back right after she strapped them on. She said it takes most kids a couple lessons to get used to the boards, so he must be strong. She tried to put his face in the water, but he said he was not ready this week.
Both kids LOVED their swim lessons--in fact both asked to go back today. Unfortunately our camera has been a bit moody lately, so I did not take any photos. I will try again next week. (For fun I included pictures from Mom Mom and Pop Pop's pool.)
