Swimming Boys

Both of my grandsons had swimming adventures during the month of March.

Swimming Boys, Part 1 - "The New Kid on the Block"

Ethan had a few firsts during his family's visit to our home in March. Swimming was one of them. Here's proof:

Time to ease him into the water (I love his belly!)

He's not quite sure if he likes the pool

Smiles from Mom and Dad, Ethan's undecided

It was fun to witness this first of Ethan's and to see how his parents tried to make it as positive an experience as possible. His papa and I took him for a "spin" around the pool too. He's a cuddly one!

Swimming Boys, Part 2 - First "Official" Swimming Lessons

Ty had swimming lessons at the YMCA during the month of March. Since I was taking care of him while his parents were out of town I had the opportunity to take him to his lessons.

On the bench waiting for lessons to begin. Ty's favorite thing is jumping in. He's the best jumper in his group (And that's not just because I'm prejudiced either.)

In the background you'll see Ty with his swimming teacher Carolina cruising through the water tied up in a swim noodle.

Boy did all this bring back memories! I can't tell you how many times over the years I sat waiting for our children during their swimming lessons. I remember hoping they'd do well and take to the water. I'm so glad to say that they did!

A new generation of cute swimming boys!
