Swimming

We have a membership to the YMCA, which I really need to use more than I do....but I did at least sign Peter up for the "Shrimp" swimming class this month and that has been fun. It it very low key, mainly just getting them used to the water and splashing around, not that that has ever been a problem for Peter, but it is good for him to interact with the other kiddos. Alan came last week and took some videos and photos, please ignore the pregnant white lady in pink and white. :)






Peter doesn't really get the whole kick your legs and swim with your arms that they keep trying to teach but he is the best back floater and he never cries so I guess that counts for something!
This is Peter's favorite game-jumping in the pool. He gets such a kick out of it. But I am still not sure it is a great thing that he is so comfortable jumping in the pool....As long as I can keep him focused on the lights and sing to him he just lays there like he is comfortable as can be. He isn't very buoyant though which if anyone has ever held him I am sure they will not be surprised there, so we will really have to work on him floating on his own without me holding his head.

Happy Boy!

Reading your blog really makes me sad that I live so far away! But Alan finally took the GMAT and we might be moving to Chicago next year so then we will be closer. Thanks for all the pictures of Peter.
