Swimming Lessons

Preston loves to jump in, even when he's not supposed to! Which he did during Hailey's swim lesson, got in trouble and then screamed for 20 minutes because he wanted to swim!

Kicks!

H swimming!

The kids did a great job at their swim lessons. I was grateful for good teachers and small classes! Hailey can now jump off the "plank" as she calls it and then put her head down and swim to the side! I was so proud of her! Preston just likes to be in the water. He put his head under and held his breath for 20 seconds (the teacher counted pretty fast, but he kept telling me it was 20!) They learned to back float, front float, crawl siwm and do "monkey, airplane, soldier", blow bubbles with their noses, and other adorable skills they performed for the parents. I loved watching them and it made me realize just how big they are getting! :)

(Note: Hailey had to wait for her friend Elsie to swim to the side before the teacher would tell her to jump, so it takes a couple seconds.)
