Swimming lessons


Brett has been waiting ever since Larson was born to get into the pool with him for lessons and we finally signed him up! It's at a community pool and the kids range in age from about 12 months to almost 3 years. The idea of the class is to just have fun in the water with your parent and get comfortable doing things like getting your face wet and jumping off the side. There's a lot of singing, too (Larson really likes the Hokey Pokey one). Per typical fashion for our child, he spends the first 20 minutes of the 30 minute class getting warmed up for the activity...but
afterward he gets to spend extra time in the wading/kiddie area adjacent to the swim lanes which he totally digs -- especially when the toy du jour is inflatable jet planes that he can tote around, what more could a toddler want? Here are some pictures from last week:

Got 'em!
