Ian Takes a Dip!

Sorry about the delay, here’s some more stuff!

Melissa was awesome to sign Ian up for a swim class at our local YMCA. See this image larger.

These are pictures from his first class on April 28th. See this image larger.

Did he enjoy it? Well, take a look at these pictures. See that smile? For the entire first class, it never left his cheeks. See this image larger.

Part of his happiness definitely stems from some much-desired one-on-one time with Mommy. (Sadly that won’t last too long… eventually they’ll want him in the water by himself. In fact, at the time of this writing, they’re already pushing that.) See this image larger.

As you’ll see over the coming entries, he’s doing great. He’s destined to be a better swimmer than his daddy, that much is easy to say! See this image larger.

There’s that smile I was talking about. See this image larger.

We know you don’t want your kids to be TOO friendly with strangers, but we were told recently that at daycare Ian’s a bit on the… fearful side, when it comes to new adults. This class quickly taught Ian to trust his teacher, somebody we have told him he can trust — and it was really great to see. See this image larger.

Yeah I can’t stress enough that one-on-one thing. I was there, but sitting in a chair taking pictures… He was so happy to not have to compete with Nina for our attention for even just a half hour. See this image larger.

We’ll have to come up with something new, similar to this, that he doesn’t have to share. It is great to teach him to share, and that is a sticking point lately with him, but he shouldn’t have to share everything. So happy! Thank you so much, Sweetie, it is great to see these smiles!
