Swim lessons

We finally signed up for swim lessons. We were able to sign up last minute with Kira and Crosby. The lessons were 4 weeks long twice a week. The lessons were about 25 minutes which was about the perfect length of time. It was fun to see how much Brayden learned in those few weeks. Brayden is really good at blowing bubbles, kicking, rowing his arms, and jumping in off the side. He can get in and out of the pool on his own too. His favorite part of swim lessons was the water spout. They used a watering can as they sang Itzy Bitzy Spider and as we would walk in a circle the kids could put their heads under the water. After the first week the water spout was what he wanted to play with the entire lesson. It was some what difficult to distract him from the water spout. Here is Kira, Crosby, and Brayden getting ready for a lesson.
One of Brayden's favorite parts of swim lessons was the shower we took after the lesson. All three kids would play in the shower. They loved letting the warm water run over their bodies. Brayden is doing this funny thing when we shower, he backs up in front of me and just stands there; I call it the penguin because for some reason that is what it reminds me of. He did that a lot in the shower after swim lessons.
