Swim Lesson Update

 Ryan's swim lessons are going well!  He has made a lot of progress just becoming more comfortable in the water since we started in February.   He can paddle about kicking his feet and scooping with his hands while supported with a noodle.  He will blow bubbles, although he won't let his head go underwater yet when he jumps in from the side.  I have been so impressed at how he can now paddle about from one end of the pool to the other with a big smile on his face. He will still occasionally cling and cry, but he really is showing improvement these last few weeks.  Tomorrow is the last swim lesson of the season.  We can't wait to put what we've learned into practice at the pool this summer!
