Still a hit!

Carter continues to enjoy and do well in swim class. Each week they have a theme and this past week was a construction theme.




They wore hard hats and swam after plastic tools. Carter loved it!!



Carter enjoys going underwater now. A huge turnaround from a few weeks ago when Carter screamed during the entire lesson and I ended up soaking wet without getting in the pool (remember the greased pig reference?)



There he is waving on the other side of the pool.


I even convinced Grammiki to come along to see the progress. She had been witness to some unfortunate swim lessons at another location that will remain nameless and wasn't so sure about coming along.
What a relief he continues to do well!

Carter was so proud of his progress.

I'm proud too.

And relieved.

And dry.





Cannon even came along!



We made a family trip to the pool later that afternoon to show his swimming skills to dad. We were there for a little over an hour and Carter swam the entire time. Carter was eager to jump off the side, go underwater and "swim" to Ryan or I. He can't swim too far yet, bit he is working on getting his arms and legs to move together in a productive way. He was having so much fun...he even smiles underwater.

Oh, and how could I forget, he would scream, "cannonball" before he would jump in. In typical Carter fashion, he had the everyone's attention.

Speaking if Cannon, he loved the pool too. He spent the entire time in the water. First splashing and then floating on his back with his head resting on Ryan or my shoulder. He was soooo relaxed. A stark contrast from his big brother.
