G has been in swim lessons at Water Babies for 2 weeks now. He loves his lesson, and loves the "playtime" afterwards even more. After the first 2 lessons he is now able to go under water withOUT drinking all the water. He kicks his legs, and goes "Nunder" (under) like such a big boy! Teacher Stacy says that its rare that toddlers his age still keep their mouths open when they go under, but she is convinced that G just likes to "Taste" everything. (Duh!)
During the lesson, G will sit on the side of the pool, and then he will fall in the water to me. He holds on to my hands, and he goes all the way under...and comes up and shouts "Nunder! Nunder!!!" I am so proud of him! I am also learning that I am SO thankful that he has an appropriate fear of water! He plays well on the steps, and knows that if he walks too far, he cannot stand and he will go under without help. He is pretty good about staying safe on his own (Of course I am ALWAYS right there) but we sure have seen quite a few daredevils that can not be trusted for a split second! When Gavin see's these babies, he says "Silly baby, nunder!" because he thinks its funny:)
When we pull up to the swim school, Gavin yells "Audry!!!" over and over. Audry is he little girl that he has his lesson with, and she is 3. She is very good at swimming, and she will swim under water to her mom. Gavin LOVES to watch her...I think its good for him:)
Last but not least, Gavin always asks about "chicken nuggets" when we leave class. I made the mistake of stopping at Wendy's after his first class. The lesson is at 5pm, so by the time we get home its dinner time. We got chicken nuggets that first night, and Gavin ate SIX of them! He really loves chicken nuggets, and of course now he asks for it every time we go:)
