Swim

We're gearing up for warmer weather on the East coast and in prepration, Will started swim lessons this past week. He is taking classes twice a week at the Y and has a wonderful teacher named Miss Shirley. She's patient but firm and gently pushes the kids beyond their comfort level. We had previously been working with Will on putting his face in the water and jumping off the side of the pool. He was hit or miss for us. But he did both for Miss Shirley on his first day of lessons. She had him blowing bubbles in the water like a champ! There are 6 kids in his class and several have had poolside meltdowns; so far, Will's been very good. He's had moments of apprehension but musters his bravery and forges ahead. I'm excited to see where this leads and am looking forward to spending some quality time at the pool with the kids in the coming months. Until then, we'll continue our lessons. As you can see, Will is enjoying himself!
