Swim Lessons

"Bye Mommy, I am going to swim with Daddy."

Pouring water on her head.


Smiling :)

Playing with swim toys...

The whole lesson wasn't all smiles...

Watching Daddy blow bubbles.

Zoe started swim lessons on Monday. We signed her up for the two weeks straight classes, anticipating some resistance from her because of last year. This way she would become more familiar with the water and her teacher each day. I think it is working. The first day Shaun and Zoe swam and every day thereafter Shaun and I both got in the water with Zoe. She is very intimidated by new experiences, so she is warming up to it. After every lesson, she tells everyone who will listen that she went swimming and had a great time. She is getting so good at kicking, but is not a fan of floating on her back. The teacher sings songs with the group and Zoe is just such a sponge that she sings the songs in the car now. It is really too cute! She is also very observant these days...she watched Shaun blow bubbles on Monday and was blowing them on Tuesday before her swim teacher told her to. She even put her head completely under the water...she wasn't a fan of Mommy after doing that. The little ones are even learning how to jump off the side of the pool into the water. Zoe prefers the "scoot" into the water versus the jump, but I know she will jump very soon. Note to self...do not start swim lessons and potty training at the same time!!! Poor little thing had one day that was so rough in the water because she had to pee, but just wouldn't go in the water, so she worried about holding it instead of swimming. Talk about torture!!! We have one week to go and will probably sign up for another session later this summer.
