Swimming

The boys have been taking swim lesson at the YMCA. Sam has loved it since the first day. He has gained confidence in his swimming and doing a great job. He still needs a little more practice, but he is determined and can swim across the pool. It was wonderful watching his face when he was able to do something that scared him!
It took Micah a little longer to get used to swim lessons. He cried the whole time the first day. The second day he still cried, but did everything his teacher asked him to do. And on the 3rd day, he decided he could do it and was a totally different kid! I was beaming with pride! He is a little fish! If he knew how to take breaths, he would be swimming across the pool. He can jump in by himself and then swim back to the wall on his own. He pulls those little arms all the way out of the water and keeps his body on top of the water. I was so proud of him!!!

Wes was able to come a couple of times, but he missed the last few days of swim.
So we decided to go to our neighborhood pool and show daddy their swimming skills.

Micah starts moving his arms before he even hits the water.

Swimming back to the steps on his own.

Sam is doing such a great job! By the end of the summer he will be swimming all over the place!

I am so proud of my boys!!!
