Brendan totally didn't want to go to swim lessons today...begged me not to make him. He did get changed and once in the pool area I told him he had to at least go sit on the edge - it was the "rule". Next thing you know, here he goes, after telling me repeatedly that he would sit there, but wasn't going to do anything.
Face in the water:
Next with the noodle:
And finally floating on his back:
By the end of the lesson, he was wanting to do everything by himself and wanted to stay longer ;) Hopefully he remembers how much fun it was next week! I have to say, the coaches there are very patient and so much fun...I think we'll be sticking with them.
We did practice last night in the tub with the goggles - if you don't have the book Way Down Deep in the Deep Blue Sea, we totally recommend it! It's about a boy exploring in the sea and seeing lots of ocean life - at the end, it turns out he was just pretending in his tub with toys. Our boys love this book so we used it for inspiration. Wellyn would hide a toy under his hand in the tub and when Brendan put his face in the water he would uncover the toy and Brendan would be all excited about the surprise! It was like bringing the book to life...

Good Job Brendan!!! The water is so much fun - now next summer you will be able to take your goggles to the lake and look for really fun stuff under water! Good Job!
Love, Aunt Lindsey
