One Fish, Two Fish

DNA always amazes me. It’s so fun to see the traits Grayson and Delaney grow into from my side and Dan’s side. Grayson is so much like his father it’s uncanny. However, he takes on so many of my characteristics too. Point in case: swimming.

I am a total fish. I love the water in all ways I can get it…except on Hilton Head Island; I loved that beach, but Momma wasn’t about to jump into those alligator ponds. Pass! But serve up an ocean or a pool and I could (and have) sit for hours.

We started swim lessons again for Grayson this past week and he loves it! After the first day being a bit timid and observing the class (again, like his Daddy) Grayson jumped in with gusto on day 2. Since then he’s had a blast and we have a whole summer full of lessons and Mommy/Kiddo pool days to look forward to. I absolutely love that he is excited about it and enjoys it as much as I do. Looks like I have one pool buddy…here’s hoping Delaney will keep loving it and make us a summer trio!

Here are a couple videos of the fun and a few pictures too. I apologize for the quality, water reflections + a slight cloud cover + an iPhone = inability to capture stellar shots. :-)

A little pre-lesson splashing

 Zoooooom!

Pssst...Hey Momma, you still back there?

 Watching the swim team before our lesson

 Kick...kick....kick...

 All on his own!

 The dumbbell floaties are his favorite

 Daddy was able to come one of the mornings too! Some pre-lesson splashing with Daddy and Lil Sis.

 He really, really likes his swim teacher.
Mr. Brandon is the cutest young man...so incredibly sweet and funny with the kids.

 That face says it all...Swimming is AWESOME!
