Swimming Lessons

After we got back from our trip to Utah, we started a week of swimming lessons with a friend from the ward that teaches lessons. I thought for sure Brody was absolutely ready for this. I mean the kid LOVED the pool. He would try and jump out of your arms when you were holding him and jump in on his own from the steps. So, naturally we were ready for swimming lessons. Here is a video of him on his graduation day.

Yes, that is definitely him crying and hating every minute of it through to the end. At least the intensity of his cry lessened each day, which was good on all of our ears. He was the only one out of the group to still be crying up to the end. I am sure it was because he was almost a year younger the everyone too. I was happy, though, because through the crying he was definitely listening and improving most every day. Did you notice him calling out to me? I would have to hide so he couldn't see me or he wouldn't listen to her at all. Here is another video that I couldn't resist putting on here.

I am so happy we took those lessons. He has improved so much from that last day. He swims on his own much farther than before, jumps in and swims to you and, even swims to the edge and gets out himself. He loves the water so much. I can't even say the word "POOL" without him running to get his suit. That is how excited he gets. It is really fun to see that. So, needless to say, we have been spending many days at the pool and, being pregnant, who can complain about that!
