At the end of last summer, Jake was jumping into pools to whoever would catch him, so naturally we thought that this year would be THE year to get Jake into swim lessons and that he would LOVE it. Um, no. It seemed to just be "in the water" or something. His teacher was super nice, but all of the kids just had a rough go of it in the beginning. As the water temperature warmed up Jake became a little more brave but never fully performed all the tasks. He wouldn't stick his head in the water to grab a fish and on his bad days wouldn't jump from the side to Daddy. He did, however, kick around on the kick board, climb out of the water unassisted, monkey climb around the pool edge and jump to Daddy on his good days! We can't wait to get him back into the water next year and see if we can get him to be a little swimmer yet.
