We spent the day at Gramma and Grandad's house yesterday and as you can only imagine, with the triple digit temps we've been having here in the valley, the better part of the afternoon was spent playing in the pool. Evan had to seize this opportunity to show us all he had been learning in his swim lessons. He's alot more confident than he was when he started for sure. At one point, he was sitting on the side of a swimring and got a little carried away playing and actually fell off backwards into the water. Typically, he would have freaked out but he was surprisingly calm about it and seemed fine other than "getting water up his stupid nose" as he put it. He's doing well trying to float on his back, just needs to get his feet up a bit more. He started jumping off the side of the pool and has figured out how to quickly make his way back to the surface and swim to the side. One of the most important things for us in taking the swim lessons to start with was to teach him how to get back to the side of the pool if by chance he fell in and he proved without a doubt he can do that now. I'm very proud of his progress and hope to see how well he continues to do in the upcoming session of swim lessons. I'll keep you posted!!
Evan, Matt(Gramma's neighbor), and cousin Josh
