First Swimming Lesson

Last month Braxton completed his first swimming lesson. Through a friend, I found a lady who teaches lessons for $25 for 2 weeks from someone's indoor pool. So, it was a small class, and perfect! Braxton was the oldest and the only boy. His teacher was great. I don't know how she can have so much patience, all the girls except one and Braxton were so bouncy and loud. Braxton and his friend Reagan were so timid about the water, but his teacher worked so good with them both. Braxton has always been afraid of water and getting his head wet. Every bath and shower was a fight to wash and rinse his hair. And very rarely would he get more than just his feet in a swimming pool. But now, if he gets in the tub he is always saying, "Mom do you want to see me put my face in the water? See how long I can hold my breath under water." We are so excited for his next lessons to start this month. Though, I am sad that I signed up and paid for them at the local public pool before I found his great teacher.
