Swimming Boy

Tomorrow will be Alexander's last swim lesson for the summer. He's come such a long way! He started out refusing to get his face wet, and now he'll dunk under easily, will float on his stomach with his face in the water, and can float on his back for a few seconds without help. Today they put life jackets on the kids and let them float around and jump in the deep end.

That's my kid with his face in the water:

Even though he often tells me in the morning that he doesn't want to dunk all the way under, he's all smiles in the pool. We'll make a swimmer out of him yet!
