One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

For the past couple of summers I had wanted to sign Kyler up for swimming lessons but never got around to do it. This summer our friends, the Ratliffs (we met when we were taking child birthing class when I was pregnant with Kyler and Julie was pregnant with Hailey) asked if we were interested in having our kiddos in the same class. So Julie took initiative and signed both kids up - Thank you, Julie!

As we were walking into the Family Fun Plex, Kyler was nervous yet excited. Then when he saw what he was going to do (they had the same level class right before his) his eye grew to the size of saucers. He really wasn't sure what to think of the whole situation. His teacher was really understanding and put him at ease right away. They worked on things like kicking, blowing bubbles, floating, and the doggie paddle. By the end of the class Kyler was having fun, laughing and jumping into the water!

Kyler talked about how much fun he had the entire car ride home. He said his favorite part was jumping into the pool. As the conversation lulled he said, "Today is a beautiful day!" I proceeded to ask why he thought it was so beautiful, and he responded with something to the effect that he was just really happy because he got to go to swim class! Ahhh, how sweet...I don't think he even realizes that we get to go eight more times!
