Swimming

Elliot finished week two of swim lessons this week. And week three of us being regulars at the Y pool again. The boys both love to swim and are doing great. Noah is no longer nervous about the yellow slides and loves to do them over and over. Although he was swimming under water for some time now, he's better about not getting water in his nose now and regulating his breathing.

Elliot is getting stronger, swimming longer distances underwater. He is still working on building his strength be be able to swim and stay above water. He's a great student in his class. The youngest one, but that doesn't hold him back a bit. I love watching him in class and can't wait to see how proud he is when he is able to swim across the pool above water. He talks often about getting to wear a "green bracelet" instead of the red one. Green bracelets are for swimmers who have passed their swim test. With the green bracelet comes more freedom in the pool (deep end without parents, going down slide, etc).

Oh, and I finally figured out the key to getting Elliot to sleep in. Take him swimming the night before ;)
