Swimming Lesson

This morning we took Dillon to his second swimming lesson. He did very good even though he was oh so tired! The class is at 8:25 am, and most of you probably know Dillon usually sleeps until 9am! So getting up at 7:30 is a little rough on the pumpkin! But anyway - he did great. He loves watching the other babies, and he loves the water, so he is good to go. Last week we focused mostly on getting the babies used to the water. This week was more of the same with a couple additional lessons. Extra lesson #1 - back float. We were instructed to rest the baby's head on our shoulder and make sure he was okay with that before putting his hair and ears in the water. Do you think Dillon was comfortable? He is totally kicked back sucking his thumb! He always manages to find a way to become the center of attention! Ha ha!
The second additional lesson today was dunking their left shoulder, the right shoulder, then head. We passed on that one but may get there before the end of the lessons. You are supposed to say "bubbles", then dunk the baby. Although Dillon is brilliant, I am not certain he knows that "bubbles" means breath out, not in. Anyway - we'll get there.
Dion just left to change the oil on the boat. We are going to meet him out there in about an hour. Good times! I love summer! Have a great one!
