Swimming Lessons

Josh and I have been having so much fun at his swimming lessons each week. I love this special time I get to spend with him. I help him swim around and try to get him to pay attention to what his teacher asks him to do. She is excellent. She makes everything seem like a game so Josh and his little buddy don't know they are actually learning. Here's Josh is chasing down a ball while learning to kick and move in the water.

 

Here's Josh and I playing a little trick on his teacher. These pictures were taken by Josh's special education teacher and she commented on the look of mischief on both of our faces.

 

I know I shouldn't encourage my child to squirt water at his teacher but I really can't help myself.

 

Here's Josh swimming without his little floaty belt.

 

Check out the look of pure joy on his face. This kid LOVES water!

 

Here's Josh swimming with only the help of a life jacket. I guess these things really do work.

 

Happiest little boy ever. When his lessons were over I told him it was time to get out of the pool. He said, "We can stay in for a few more minutes?" It was so cute.

 

We're having a blast!
