swimming!

Thanks to our friend Alaythia and her parents, Charlie and I have been enjoying swim lessons once a week since January at the Little Fishes Swim School.  It has been a great way to get out and still be warm during the winter.   Our last class was today and we will sure miss it!   Charlie has learned how to put his head under water and hold his breath, to blow bubbles, to jump in from the side (going all the way underwater) and to relax while floating on his back.  Big skills for a two-year old, I think! 

They snapped this picture of him ‘swimming’ under water from his coach to me. (Its really more of an underwater hand off, where the coach pushes Charlie about 4-5 feet under water and Charlie tries to remember to kick before I scoop him up!)
