swim lessons 2.0

last year brody took swim lessons and it was a total bust. needless to say i was really hoping he might take to lessons a bit better this year- and seriously i was shocked! he totally loves it! every morning is a count down to swimming day! it's so fun to watch him learn something he's so excited about! here's some action shots:
under water swimming? no prob!

so excited to be there, i love it!
no hesitation to jump off and swim on his own (ok, that's kind of a pro and a con.)
proud of his work!
as a side story- at the end of each class the teacher has the students show what they worked on that day and tells the parent what they learned/need to work on. the first couple of weeks she kept mentioning things for brody like: "easily distracted," or "needs to focus a little more" and "gets excited and looses focus." as his mom i thought it was hilarious, i kept thinking distracted? loss of focus? oh yes, you must have met brody! so funny! she's since realized that's just how brody rolls and now she works with it, it's great. she a really good teacher and i'm so glad brody's loving his swim days! there's no stopping this little fish!
