Swim Lessons: May 29th – June 8th

We signed Landen up for “Parent and Me” swim class through the city of Lakewood. It was a 30 minute session every day for 2 weeks. John got in the water with Landen and they just cruised around the pool splashing. The instructor would go from baby to baby for some one-on-one time and they’d all sing a song or two together. It was a great opportunity to introduce Landen to the water. He LOVED it the first day. The kid was in seventh heaven and really animated. Some of the other days didn’t go as well depending on whether or not he’d had good naps. We skipped a couple of days, but overall the two weeks was a good experience and we’re looking forward to doing it again next year when Landen will be a little more of an active participant.

Kinda grumpy

Playing with a toy boat

 

First class after a little break for the weekend and John’s birthday. The water was a chilly as you first got in so Landen cried a little bit until he got used to it.

A helicopter flew right over the pool and circled in the area

Splash! Splash!

 

What do you mean tomorrow is the last day??

Kick! Kick!

More splashing of course!

Landen’s last day of swimming. As much as we liked going, we were kind of tired of doing it every day. We finally wised up and brought Landen’s sunglasses so he wouldn’t have to squint in the sun. Duh!

Some final splashing

 

Noodle time!

Landen got a certificate. We can’t wait until next year!
