Swim Lessons

Harrison started swim lessons this week with Ms. Susan.  He focused as long as he could, trying to 'scoop ice cream' with his arms in the water and kick his legs fast, then slow.  He did well, especially considering all he wanted to do was jump off the diving board.  He really, really wanted to jump off the bigger one, but compromised to the little one.  He watched the big boys run, jump on the end of the board, then land with a big splash of a cannon ball.  He so badly wanted to do the same, and he did do the best, biggest jump he could muster having to walk to the edge and only jump one time into the arms of Ms. Susan. 

This is day one.

 Day two.  Can't tell, but he's wearing goggles that he made me put on immediately when we got to the pool....before we got out of the car!  He feels so special getting this one-on-one attention.  I'm ready for  him to start swimming like the fish he thinks he is!
