My Little Swimmer

Today marked a memorable step for Trevor. It was his first day of swimming lessons!!
He had a really good time and he did very well! I will not be taking any pics during the class so I don't distract anybody.
After class we decided to stay and swim for a half hour, which ended up turning into an hour :)
Something magical happened during that first class though...something changed. Before when we would go to the pool, Trevor would freak if we let go of him, even with his life jacket on. But after class, we put a life jacket on and VIOLA! he wanted to swim by himself with nobody holding him. He marched right out into that pool and showed it who was boss! He even decided to go swim in the part of the pool where his feet can't touch bottom. At one point he even told me, "Mom I don't need you to swim with me. You go over there and I will stay over here and we can swim by ourselves."
Did I mention that all they did today was superman swim across the pool with a noodle and again with a kick board while making big splashes?! So I have no idea where his new found bravery came from.
I am thinking these lessons are going to do wonders for his confidence and our sanity :)
Here he is finally taking a break so I could get a good picture of him...
Great Work Trevor! You did awesome dude!
