Swimming with Cole

We began swim lessons with Cole last week. Although initially apprehensive, he soon realized that the pool was no more than one big bathtub with toys, splashed around and amused everyone with his happy dance. This week, they went underwater, and while he wasn't doing his happy dance afterwards, it was not as upsetting for him as I had thought it would be. He seems very at ease in the water, and even didn't mind floating on his back (Franny battled this for nearly a year and a half!). It was fun being in the water again; I haven't been in with Franny since the beginning of last summer. I had forgotten the calming effect water has on the body. Even just the half hour we have leaves me feeling relaxed. And, it's just a lot of fun!
