Swimming Lessons

Isaac got to do swimming lessons this summer. This was the first class he has done that hasn't been a mom tot class. The first few days he was a little anxious, but he got used to it and every morning he would wake up and ask if it was swimming day.
 He really enjoyed his class. He had friends in his class Paisley (his cousin) and Chloe (a friend). They would play while we waited for our other cousins to finish their lessons. 



During the course of lessons Isaac got really confident. One day he came home from class and announced that he was going to jump off the diving board. I did not think he would actually do it. On the last day of lessons his teacher took them over to the board. He walked up confidently at first, but as he got to the end he crouched down and looked down. He noticed how high it really was. He wouldn't jump so his teacher helped him off the board. As the lifeguard brought him to the side he was grinning from ear to ear. He was so proud of himself. We were proud of him too.
