He Is a Swimmer!!!!

We have been taking swim lessons every year since we moved here. There is this Fantastic lady that lives in our neighborhood who does lessons in her back yard. She has a gift I tell you, I have seen transformations of fear of water to little fishy kids. In our family alone she has now used her gift on 3 of my kids. Check out Xander! Last year he wouldn't even leave the side of the pool in the shallow end, and now he is swimming across the pool and jumping off the diving board! It was so fun and exciting to watch him yesterday. I think this is one of the best perks of being a Mother, watching your kiddies grow, learn and overcome obstacles and fears. It was such a sight to see!

Jumped off the diving board with no help from his teacher or a floating device! Then he swam to the edge of the pool. We are so excited!

He's been going off of the slide all week, but not without a tube. He just decided that he CAN swim and just did it!
