This was Sarah's 1st round of lessons. Even though she has her anxieties about the water, she's a little tougher than Jacob and didn't cry or complain nearly as much. They both had a great experience this year and made great strides in their swimming! Now if their mother would just swallow her pride, pull on her own swimsuit, and take her children swimming so they can get a little practice every now and then!

Swimming Lessons
Jacob and Sarah both took swimming lessons this summer from Nanny's neighbor! Luckily some of their cousins signed up as well. It was so fun for them to have friends in their classes . . . and fun for their mommies to have opportunities for carpooling! Jacob is our "negotiator!" He lost no time that 1st lesson trying to negotiate and stall his way out of going under water! Luckily Whit, the swimming instructor, knows Jacob well enough after 2 previous years of lessons that he didn't hardly give Jacob the time of day. He just dunked him under the water mid-sentence and moved on to the next kid!

Jacob LOVED wearing goggles at play time. Too bad he doesn't stay under the water long enough to actually USE them for their intended purpose!

Cute! I spent many hours in that pool as a teen with Whit's older bro. Scott has jumped off their deck into the pool numerous times. Yikes! Thanks for having Free yesterday. He kept bragging about how he went to your house, so I think he had fun. I hope he didn't whine about video games the whole time because, uh, that happens a lot! :)
