Wow! If I didn't see it for myself I wouldn't believe it. It all started this morning. There were no tears about going to swim lessons. When we got to the pool the boys each happily took off their sandals and headed over to their teachers. What happened next was shocking. Harrison jumped right in, cooperated with his teacher, and even jumped off the diving board into the deep end! Who is this kid? He later told me that he thought his teacher Carrie was, "spectacular". I really had to agree. He is a completely different swimmer then he was yesterday.
And then there's Charlie. He wasn't as excited as he was yesterday, but he did such a great job. I think he was embarrassed because my sister and niece were there to watch. He gets shy when he knows someone is watching. :)
After swim lessons they went over to my parent's house and they swam there too. No vests either. I guess they just needed that outside boost of confidence. I can't wait to see how they are swimming when these lessons are over. Even though they will have taken up our entire month of July, and the every day schedule is a pain, it will be so worth it. It already is. I will bring my camera so you can see for yourself. :)

Glad the lessons went better!
Evan always has a slow start to most new experiences but once he gets going it's not to bad :0)
That's great news! Isn't it an incredible feeling when we watch our little ones succeed? I'm not too sure who is more proud in situations like these... the kid or the mommy. :) How sweet.
