Swim Colby Swim

Colby has been enjoying his swimming lessons. He doesn't like having to get dressed and being all wet and cold at the end, but the pool time is worth it. He is currently in a class with one other little girl who is just a few months younger than him. He has been in classes with her many times over our swimming years. We were all in the pool together when we, the parents, still had to get in with them. I can't say I miss those days. ; )

This is rare picture of them actually sitting on the steps and listening to directions. They are usually bobbing under the water non-stop. I feel sorry for teacher Katherine most of the time. They keep her busy.
Thumbs up- good job!

Kicking with the turtle board. It gets tricky to keep your arms out in front.

Colby swims all the way to the island- he was rolling onto his back for a breath in this picture. This move is still a little tricky. Once he flips, he forgets to flip back and just starts barrel-rolling.

I missed his awesome back float. The kid floats great! In fact, he has trouble getting toys from the bottom of the pool because his butt won't sink. He looks like a duck diving for plants at the bottom. he he

It has been an interesting month. Here are a few of the highlights. Within the last week, Brady lost both of his two front teeth. His bottom ones aren't all grown in either, so he is enjoying being able to stick his tongue through his teeth. I love the no front tooth look. : )

This was a self portrait.

This was after one tooth was gone, but the other was still hanging on.


Colby is back to swim lessons for the time being. He enjoys it- but suddenly hates to be wet. He is really good at floating on his back. In fact, when it is time to retrieve something from the bottom of the pool, he can't sink to get it. His little butt floats like a duck. It is hilarious!

A few weeks ago Brady ran into a pole at lunch recess and split his head open. Of course that was the one day every two months that Todd is out of town. I quickly found someone to cover my class and we headed to the ER. He was VERY concerned about having to get stitches. Luckily they were able to use glue. The scab finally fell off this week, and it's looking pretty good. We went from the ER to pick up Colby at daycare and then straight to swim class. We were all exhausted by the time we got home and were in bed by 8.
