First Swimming Lessons!

Cooper took his first round of swimming lessons over the last few weeks! He has had a tremendous fear of the water which stems from having tubes in his ears and hating ear plugs. The opportunity came up for four little ones around the same age to take lessons from an instructor, and we jumped on it! The beginning of the two weeks of lessons looked alot like this picture:



Several lessons he cried almost the entire time! The instructor, "Miss" Courtney, gets the prize, though, because she got this fearful little boy swimming!



He still needs a little coaxing to jump off the diving board, but other than that, he made incredible progress!



Cooper's friend, Harrison, was the champion swimmer of the group and fearless of the water. Hopefully he has rubbed off on Cooper a little bit!



Thankfully after all the time, heat (mainly felt by this very pregnant mom), and effort, the two weeks of lessons left Cooper a little bit happier and excited about swimming!
