Bennett started his first "all by himself" swimming lessons a few weeks ago. I feel bad because I have been a bad mom... I haven't signed him up for lessons in so long because I haven't wanted to get in the water myself, and the fact that I have Wes too! Too be perfectly honest the first day was a little rocky. I didn't think we were going to last more than that one lesson.... Bennett cried, screamed and asked to go potty 3 times. It didn't help that he had a whole cheering section... my mom, dad, brother, Wes and I were all up in the stands watching. I think seeing all of his favorite people in the stands (especially nana) made him more sensitive. He made it through though, and he was a big boy and even went to his next lesson without a tear shed! I decided to go alone this time and hide behind a pillar in the hallway so B couldn't see me, and he did so much better this time!!
Now 4 lessons later Bennett is a rockstar! He is even kicking on the kick board all by himself!! He can bob his head under and blow bubbles, steamboat and is even learning how to do the crawl stroke! Being a competitive swimmer myself I was seriously so proud of my little brave man!!


I'm so glad he is liking it!! He's gonna be a little fishy in no time.
