Our Little Fish

We had been throwing around the idea of Evan' taking swimming lessons this spring for quite sometime. We knew that we wanted to do it, but Houston Swim Club requires that you take a two week "everyday" course before you can cut back to once or twice a week. To be really honest, that sounded terrible.
The evenings are such a tough time for Zoe, and I thought it would just be crazy. In the end, we decided to finally bite the bullet and sign Evan up. I'm so so glad we did! He is such a good little swimmer!
We started off with a bang. No fears, not one fuss, and was participating better than we could have imagined. Last Friday we had a little bump in the road. His teacher took each of the kids down to the bottom to get rings, and lets just say that Evan was too sure he liked that part of swim class. He was very hesitant to go to swimming each day this week, but by Wednesday he was doing much better. Today was his last day of his two week class and I have to say , he did AWESOME!! 
I have included a few photos from the first class and some videos from yesterday. It is amazing what they can teach them in just two short weeks. He is so much more comfortable in the water, he can float for a few seconds by himself on his back, he actually went to the bottom to get a ring, and has learned how to safely get himself into and out of the pool!! 
He will continue to go once a week for a while, and I can't wait to see what all he learns!!
