Swimming

Our kids have been back in Kinderswimmer lessons since October, and they are both doing really well. Today, for the first time, I got to go! Usually Jim takes them on days that I work. Today he worked and I was off, so I was very excited to see JT swim “all by myself” and to go in the pool with Haley. Grandpa and Grandma Keene came to watch, too.

Such a big guy!

Backstroke

The slide…

Splash!

Miss Tatum, their teacher, said JT was super goofy today for his audience 🙂

Get set…

Jump!

This is called “Baby Chuck.” Really.



Haley’s favorite: Peekaboo balls

Miss Tatum says that Haley is ready for the next class up. Haley even closed her eyes and tucked her chin when I told her “eyes in” today. But that would mean Jim wouldn’t get to swim with her anymore, so… we’ll wait a couple of months, I think. 🙂
