Doing a back float all by himself.
His big moment... jumping in without gripping his teacher.

Swimming Lessons for Derek
Derek is taking his second set of swimming lessons. He did great last year. This year it took him a while to be brave. In January Clint was swimming with the three boys in a pool at a hotel. Derek went under and Clint had to pull him out. Ever since then he's been a little timid. Ok, not timid, but terrified. His teacher was GREAT. She helped him get his confidence back and yesterday he was so proud when he jumped in all by himself. He just kept saying, "I need to tell Daddy I jumped in all by myself. He'll be so proud." Yes, little buddy, we are so proud!! His little smile says it all.

I just caught up on your blog! I love your boys and can't wait to see them again! Looks like a fun summer so far, lots of sand and water :) I laughed so hard about the "bathroom" while camping. Too funny what boys will think of!
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd understand what that meant, LOL. And isn't it too funny that they had to have two, one just wasn't enough!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see in you in a few weeks!! It's going to be a blast.
It's good that the kids learn to swim.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm proud of Derek being more brave this
Summer! :)
