1 Fish, 2 Fish

The first scheduled event for the summer is swimming lessons. Lauren and Benjamin both started on Monday. Each are in the pool at the same time but in different classes. They are having a great time and it's fun to see how much better swimmers they are becoming. Lauren has always been the fish of the family and her favorite part is going off the diving board into the deep end. She has been doing that for years now and there is no fear on her part when she jumps off the end of it. Her goal is to try and touch the bottom of the deep end. Benjamin on ther other hand is much more hesitant. He like to go in the water and put his face under. Once you ask him to go on his back, he'll do it but he's not crazy about it. He goes off the diving board too but with a lot of coaxing by the instructor waiting in the water right below him. Noah and I just sit and watch the fun. He would LOVE to be in the pool with them but the rule is you have to be potty trained before you can take swimming lessons. Since that hasn't happened (and might not...ever!) we just sit and watch. He does like to scream their names and wave as they get ready go to off the diving board.
