Lincoln finished the summer session of swimming lessons tonight, and he had a great time at class. He's finally warmed up to the idea and actually thinks it's fun! We went through many weeks of murderous screams, but he only cried one little time at the lesson tonight. He just doesn't want to swim! He wants to do all the other things like practice kicking with the arm floats on, pull his arms during the fun song, float on his back, and even jump (ok, be pulled) off the side of the pool to Mommy. Anyway it's light years better than it was when we started this summer. For his efforts, he was rewarded with a blue ribbon and a cool backpack! He was so excited! And I learned a valuable lesson . . . don't take a year off from swimming lessons until he's got it down pat! The next session begins next week and lasts until mid-January. By then he may be challenging Michael Phelps to a race! (Wait, is Michael Phelps old now? I can't keep up with the swimming people in a non-Olympics year. Sorry!)
The little fishy enjoyed his bath tonight after his super fun swim. He practiced all his moves in the tub while Beau and I laughed.
