My Little Fish

We have always felt like it is so important for our kids to feel safe and comfortable in the water.  Brooklyn and Colson have both been taking lessons since they were 11 months old in a mommy and me class.  This is Brooklyn's second year to be in a semi-private lesson and Colson's first year to be in a totally private lesson.  We have an AMAZING teacher named Jessica who is the perfect mix of nurturing and instilling the importance of safety around the water!  She is great!  She is very patient with Colson who cries a bit at the beginning of class and then warms up to the situation!  He is doing great jumping off of the side of the pool and trying to catch the ball in the water.  Brooklyn has improved so much...she is finally starting to cover some distance with her arm stroke and kicking and jumps off of the side with ease!  She goes down to pick things off of the bottom of the pool and comes up on her own...pretty amazing!

What a ham!

Look at her jump!

All smiles!

Reaching and pulling for the ball!

My sweet boy!
