Swimming lessons

We started a new swimming lessons class on Monday. The previous class wasn't right for Kane. We went to one and a half lessons. The girl had no clue what to do with an infant. So they had us go to the morning class this month. It is 100% better. Kane doesn't like going under water but it is getting better. He also would never let us put him on his back before. She showed us a way to get him to lay back and it worked. He is a good little kicker. You can tell he has been in the water more than the other kids. Chris swam with him the first two days. Tomorrow I am going to get in with him. They showed us how to get him to float on the noodle and learn head control and balance. He was pretty good at that. They are suppose to teach them how to roll over in a life jacket tomorrow. They also have been showing us some things to do when he is a little bigger. Alot of this class is teaching them trust and how to be comfortable around water. The water actually helps teach them balance. The instructors daughter is crazy. She is 18 months and acts like a fish. She is constantly going under water and jumping around. It is really cute.
