Swim Season

We're raising little fish around here and I couldn't be happier about it.  Carter finished up a month of swim lessons and loved every minute.

The picture above was taken right after he finished his last class.  I was trying to get him to smile at me but he was so bummed swim lessons were over, he wouldn't even look at me. He just kept saying, "But, I want to swim!" Luckily, summer is still here and we can go swim everyday!

Carter has definitely mastered the jump into the pool move.  The rest of his classmates were a little timid, only jumping when the instructor's arms were nearby, but Carter always chose to fly in unassisted (sometimes head first!) Fortunately, he's also learned to swim back to the wall so he's making progress on that front as well.  It's amazing how much he loves the water and how much he has learned already!

Of course we had to celebrate the swimming success with a special trip for cupcakes!

Carter finished up a round of gymnastics too, but enjoyed being in the water a bit more.
