I am in my 6th week of swimming lessons and I am doing so great! I love the water and I am sure I must be the teacher's favorite student. I practice "falling" in off the wall - tune the tune of humpy dumpty - then I turn around and splash back to the wall. They try to teach me to climb out of the pool, but I am too little. I like to do the "monkey" walk around the edge of the pool and find the shallow end. Every week I am doing better and better going under the water. I am learning how to hold my breath first and float on my back when I come up.
My girlfriend Ellery is taking the lessons with me and we usually have quite the fan club at the Swim Academy. Grandma Barbara, Nana, Aunt Tanya, Daddy and Papa the usual cheering section. Sometimes Daddy gets in the pool with me too.
