We spent an extra 2 weeks in Pinetop. During this time I signed up the kids to take swimming lessons so we would have something to do. They loved them!
Laine and I were signed up for the mom and tot class. We did one day of it before I switched her into the preschool class. She was much to old to be in that class plus she wouldn't let go of me and was really scared. I knew that if I wasn't there she would do so much better. Although technically she was not old enough to be in the older class they switched her anyway.
Bode was a bit shy the first day but after buying a pair of goggles he got brave! There were a few other kids who had goggles and he was convinced that was why they could swim better than him. He got those goggles and became a little fish. Not a fish that could get very far, but a little fish just the same. He was to proud of himself.
After Laine got switch into the older class she had so much fun! She had a little crush on her teacher and would only sit by him and do the little activities with him.
After we came home we went swimming at the Brook's house. Bode was showing off all his newly acquired skills. He didn't want to wear a floaty and was jumping in the pool left and right. He is by no means able to swim by himself, but he can manage to jump in, touch the bottom and make his way back to the side of the pool.
They both had so much fun and it tired them out for the rest of the day. Laine couldn't even make it back home without falling asleep.
They are so cute and I love Laines whale swim suit!
