Birthday week and Swimming Lessons...Day TWO

I got to spend my afternoon at the spa thanks to Colt and Blake. They gave me a "day at the spa" for mother's day complete with message, facial and lunch. IT WAS WONDERFUL and I was there for three hours. Then it was off to swimming lessons with Colt!
Swimming Lessons Day TWO
Class today was similar to yesterday. We still worked on holding our breath as well as kicking. Colt has now started to anticipate the "dunk" by closing his eyes on the count of 3. Its sooooo cute! He still cried after coming up, but the last 2 times he did it with NO crying. YAY Colt!! We did a cute little drill where all the parents got in a circle holding our babies and took turns dunking and "swimming" to the next person. By the end of the drill EVERY baby was crying. It was precious. All of the babies are such troopers and in the end it will all be worth it. The teacher said that this is the age (5-6mos) when you need to start the baby with lessons and parent's that "don't get their child's face wet are doing them a disservice." Blake swam with us today and Colt loved it! Colt loves the water and he even has webbed toes! Who knows, he could be the next Michael Phelps.
