James and Henry are both in swim lessons this fall at the Y. James has transitioned to a student class in which Mom and Dad are no longer in the water with him and thus far has been doing very well with listening to his teacher and learning basic skills. He got his report card a few weeks ago and he was noted to be "chatty" but follows directions well, who does that sound like? :)
A few weeks ago they taught the kids about water safety in boats. It was pretty cute to see all the kids climb into the canoe and the smile on James' face was priceless!!
Henry takes turns with Mom and Dad in the water and although the first week he was a little apprehensive (we think mainly due to the water temperature), since then he's taken to the water like a little fish kicking his legs and splashing with his hands. He loves watching James in the water too any chance he gets!
We just signed the boys up for another session that will last until the snow flies ... by then James will be ready to try his hand at skating we think!
