Swim Class for Lauren

It's no secret Lauren loves the water, baths, sprinklers, whatever. The only problem is we signed her up for swim classes about a month before they started and had to hear her ask incessantly when she was going to go. We were just glad Farmington decided to add a Saturday only session this year so we could do them. The first nice day of the year (seriously), they started. She was so excited to "learn how to swim without floaties." We look forward to taking the things she's learned in these four lessons and spend lots of time practicing at the pool this summer.

We got there a little early on day one, so the she just kept staring at the water asking when she could go in.

She finally followed the other kids and sat by the pool waiting for the teacher.

Her teacher, Miss Shannon. Lauren kept shouting to me watching her, but soon became a good listener.

Learning "tiger arms."

Buddy and mommy just sat at the side and he entertained himself for an hour with his stacking cups (or as Lauren calls them, "snacking cups.") He loves to build things and put things into other things. Plus, he's afraid to crawl on grass, so he just sat contently the entire time.

Playing "motor boat, motor boat" with the class.

She finished the guppie level 1. Unfortunately, they don't have the other sessions on Saturday, so we'll have to do some private lessons with mommy this year. She is confident in the water, just needs to get the coordination of kicking her feet at the same time as moving the arms. She loved going and had a fun time. We are proud of our little guppie.
