Swimming Lessons!

I forgot I never blogged about Eli's swimming lessons! He had a great time and was SO much braver and more confident than he was two years ago. I was really happy with the pool I took him to and was just sad Connor didn't get a chance to do it too!

By the end Eli was able to swim a short distance on his own and had no fear of jumping in or getting completely submerged in the water. Hooray! We're planning on going back to the pool next Saturday as a family to swim since Connor gets his cast off on Monday! They have a splash pad, a one-foot deep toddler pool, water slides, and a lazy river, so it should be lots of fun.

Connor and Anna were good sports during the lessons. Luckily we had some friends! My new friend Janae had her two oldest kids (ages 4 and 6) in at the same time and her youngest is just two weeks older than Anna so they had lots of fun together.

Anna and Kenzie

 Kenzie calls her Annie. "Bye Annie!" So cute. (And yes, Anna is wearing a headband as a necklace. She refuses to wear them on her head, but she loves finding them and putting them around her neck).

I thought I got more pictures of Eli swimming, but I guess I just got a couple videos. Bummer. Here they are doing a game.

 Good floating!

 These are all jumbled, sorry...

 Jumping in!

The best part was how much Eli loved it! He told me every day that swim lessons was the "funnest thing ever!" We were all sad when they were over!
