Swim Lessons

We're back into swim lessons, this time we have Mary.  The kids ended up being the only ones in the class and they're doing great!   Today I was lucky enough to have Grandma G with us so I could take some pictures and videos!  Here they are waiting for swim lessons to start!

 Kayda is turning into a fish!  She swam almost all the way across the shallow end by herself today and randomly decided to do backstroke... and was successful.  You can tell that she has decided she likes the way it feels to glide, she's a pro now.  She can also swim along the bottom of the pool as well as flip from her stomach to her back and back to her stomach without any problems. 

Dillon isn't being his usual brave self for this round of swim lessons.  He's usually very adventurous in the water but he's toned it way down this session.  Despite this he's still doing a great job flipping over in the water, doing his floats and he's figuring out how to do his glides on his back.  He's always done well with his his front glides. 

I love that my kiddos are such water lovers.  They seem to prefer being underwater when they're in the pool and spend as little time as possible with their heads above the water.  I'm working on getting that same love of water in Carson.  So far he loves baths and showers!  He hears the water and he calms down if he's been crying.  We've even started teaching him to hold his breath.  When we're at swim lessons he absolutely will not interact with me, he wants to be looking at the pool NOT Mommy. 

Grandma G has a thing with baby teeth so she's constantly searching for them.  Yesterday she discovered that Carson has his two bottom front teeth cutting through.  You can definitely feel them and if you can get him to cooperate you can even see them.  This is how he spent the whole swim lesson!  Can you tell he's teething?
