Swimming Lessons

We finished swimming lessons & the boys ended up doing better towards the end thanks to a little bribery. I got some good pics of the boys doing the things they learned. Here's Alex.Here's Alex doing the "monkey walk"
Stretching his arms out.

Here he is doing his kicks to get the ball (his favorite part)
Here he is doing his "floats"
Here is Jameson. I was so proud of him. He went from screaming & crying through the whole lesson every day to being brave enough to even go under and not come out crying, even though he was obviously NOT happy. Here's his first attempt to swim to Ashleigh. I was so proud of him.
Jameson's "monkey walk"
I love the look on his face in this one. You can tell he's trying so hard.
He learned how to climb out of the pool by himself.
Here are Jameson's "floats" I'm so proud of how much the boys learned, & even more, how brave the boys grew to be.

Way to go boys! Adelaide started swim lessons last week. It is so fun to see them get brave. She finally put her head under water all by herself, scares me to death, but she's fine. ;)
