Other Summer Activities

We put both boys into private swim lessons for the summer. Nathan was so close to swimming on his own I thought this would make the difference-and it did! He can swim across the pool without floaties etc. (although I'm sure they'll be 25 if I ever consider them water safe). He still regresses to doggie paddle when he gets tired, so we are constantly working on "big arms."

Brandon likes it although there was a period of a week when he cried as he realized these were real lessons and not just Mommy-and-Me playtime lessons. He's better now, and is doing well at some of the safety basics (getting out of the pool by himself, etc.) but definitely needs the floaties!
