Swim Lessons

J-man has been taking swim lessons the last two weeks. This is the first time he's swam without a parent in the water with him. The first day we were a bit scared and refused to go anywhere near the water. That afternoon we went back to the pool to get used to the water. That must of helped because he's done great since. Here he is practicing his front stroke with teacher Tracy. (His backstroke is incredible but we failed to capture it on film.)

One of the students in his class is our new friend Grace. Grace has a little brother named Luke who is very close to J-girl's age. While J-man and Grace learn to swim, J-girl and Luke interact by stealing each other's toys, snacks and sippy cups. Meanwhile, Daddy gets to have a conversation with a grown-up (Grace's mommy). How cool it that?

In a couple of weeks, J-man will be starting the next level of difficulty. Daddy and J-girl will be taking the infant swim class at the same time. J-girl really digs the water and Daddy really needs to get rid of his farmer tan (not pictured).

Here is a picture of J-girl seated in a giant chair:
