Michael's swimming lesson update

Tia Anana (Aunt Diana) came to watch Michael tonight and he was just thrilled...(I'm wondering if he wasn't showing off for her?)

He is ready and waiting...

As you can see he is also tired of Mamma and her camera, LOL...


Tonight they threw rings on the bottom of the pool and the children had to go get them...Michael did an exceptional job and I was BEAMING...I am so PROUD of him...Last summer he was swimming under water but near the surface...tonight he dove down 4 ft to get the rings and did IT!! The photo above is him surfacing after collecting the ring...



At the end of the nightly lessons they've been letting the kids go down to the deep end and jump in...Michael loves doing it...I caught him in mid-splash again!! The "bigger the splash the better" is what the boys seem to think!!
He has one more lesson and then he is done with this session...We won't be doing lessons next month as we will be gone for a bit...But maybe in April. We shall see how he is doing in school too...He's doing great and I would like to continue until he is swimming really well...He's been doing wonderful in school this month and I am wondering if him taking swimming lessons has made him improve on his schoolwork...This month is almost over with and he hasn't had any frown faces all month...Amazing!!
