February 21, 2011- Mommy and Aiden swim lessons

I decided to sign Aiden and I up for mommy and me swim lessons through the park district. The class meets twice a week for four weeks. We are now at week 3 of our swim lessons and finally Daddy was able to make it to take some pictures :)  (stinking evening shift)

Aiden has been doing extremely well in class... The first class was a bad scenario to start (Aiden was getting over a cold, I woke him up from a nap and the water was FREEZING- or just not 80 degrees like we prefer), so I was a little worried. Week 1 we worked on blowing bubbles, arm circles, and kicking our legs. Week 2 we practiced and then introduced the back float. Other people in class also tried allowing their children to feel what floating is like on their own by wrapping a noodle around the child, HOWEVER Aiden wanted NO part in that stinking noodle and still doesn't this week. He starts crying when he even sees it. :( Week 3 we reviewed and then worked on flipping from back to front in the water... (Aiden also went under water for the 1st time, and didn't seem to mind)

  1. aiden looks like a total stud....you can see the wimpy kid behind him barely even being dipped in the water (and that kid looks even older than Aiden). looking forward to being home this summer so i can see aiden practice his swim moves in person!
