Swim Lessons Day #2

Tonight at swim lessons Parker spent the majority of his time jumping into the pool.

Wait.

Let me rephrase that.

Parker spent the majority of his time running and then jumping into the pool.

When we arrived at the pool, Parker could not get out of his car seat quick enough. He was saying, "pool" and squealing- in an excited way.

The first few minutes of class he enjoyed blowing bubbles and attempted floating (of course with my assistance). This was during the time that they wanted him to blow bubbles, float, kick his feet AND move his hands in a scooping motion ALL AT THE SAME TIME. (He's 20 months old- in case you forgot.) They wanted him to float and hold the rubber turtle on his stomach. He was over all of this because it was a little too advanced and he was tired of floating and working on blowing bubbles (he drank water twice).

Long story short, we ended up moving on to the jumping into the pool for the rest of the class.

Parker would get out of the pool and they had tiles about a foot and a half back from the edge of the pool saying how deep the water was (3 ft where we were at). He insisted on standing on the tiles and would look at me and say "ready." Once I would say "ready, set, go" he would run to the pool and either jump or fall in to the pool (obviously anticipating me catching him).

He was really disappointed when swim lessons were over. He pointed at the pool and said, "Pool. Pool. Pool." (He's a broken record. For real.)

I'm a little nervous about the next week of his classes because it's supposed to rain THE ENTIRE NEXT WEEK- Thanks Hurricane Alex.
