... He Swims!

This summer Caden has been taking swim lessons at the Workout Club, a local gym. Normally we enroll the kids in a session or two prior to swim season to get them used to the water. But Caden did so well we continued the sessions throughout the summer. The best part is that during the summer they have sessions which are 4 consecutive days of lessons rather than once a week for 6 weeks. He really got a lot out of the one week classes. We had enrolled him in 2 sessions, but after the second he "graduated" to the next level, so we decided to have him take another week so we could see what they worked on so that we could work with him at home as well. He has really expanded his comfort level in the water and now doesn't mind if his face gets wet.. which has even helped make tubbies that much easier!! We have found something that he truly enjoys, and not once did he flip his Caden switch and have some sort of a meltdown. Just look how happy he is!! And look at the second picture.. notice the noodle being held in front and the teachers hands both ahead of Caden?? He is swimming on his own!! This summer has been great! Rob and Caden get to go in the pool almost every day during Cole and Cora's naptime, so he's been getting lots of practice! Just wait until all the kids are old enough to be in the pool.. they are going to have the best summer's ever!! Unfortunately... I'll be at work :( Oh, to be a teacher!

And on two of the days, while Caden was swimming Rob left Cora with Cole at Kim's.. so of course we had to document her first day of daycare even if it was just for an hour or two!

He swims!

Big girl!! Going to daycare!
