Another little fish

I have another fish on my hands!! Over the course of two weeks (6/8-6/19) Ryan was in swimming lessons at the outdoor pool (poor Hailey wanted to go so bad, but she is beyond their teaching levels, so for once she had to sit and watch). Ryan really was acting like Hailey during these lessons....constantly with his face in the water, trying to swim, doing floats, etc. He loved it every night. It is so nice not having to force him or try to talk him into getting in the water...it is more like begging him to get OUT of the water! :) He did great, improved during the lessons, but will continue to be a sunfish again in August when he has lessons again. :)

Look at the little flirt! :) And, him practicing his back float.

Does it look like he is having fun?!?! :) The second picture is him working on his front float.

At the end of the two weeks, they always let the kids "jump in" via these mats. Last year Ryan didn't really like it and had to hold the teacher's hand the whole time. Not this year! :) He went right in!! :)


What did Hailey do while she waited?!?! Plenty of whining, and asking when he would be done...but also a few nights of picture taking and games were a good choice too. Notice the game she is playing...anyone remember those?!!? She is lucky I gave it to her...I wanted it for myself ;)

Great job Ryan. Looks like he really likes the water now. I remember the day he wouldn't put his foot in the water.

Looks like Hailey had fun too.
