Swim

Aiden had his first swim lesson ever this month! For 2 weeks Mon thru Thurs we were up at our YMCA.

Day 1 Grande took him so he wouldn't be a chicken.

Day 2 He cried at first, but eventually warmed up to the idea. All the other moms were like "He didn't act like that yesterday..." Yes when Mommy is around he's very timid unless I say its okay.

I will say one thing sitting in the inside pool area was like being in a sauna. SOOO hot!!!! The other moms kept commenting every day how good Brody was just sitting there like a champ and watching. Gotta love that cute kid!

Aiden's reward for doing a good job at swim was going to play outside in the "cool" pool as he likes to say. I must say it is quite a cool pool! It's more like a splash park because the shallow end only comes up to Aiden's chest. We did have quite a few meltdowns when I wouldn't let him go down the slides...but other than that each day I could see his love for the water grow!

Exactly what I was looking for. He now wants to swim at Gabby and Grande's all the time.

Even Brody and myself joined him in the outside pool some days. Way to hot to just sit there. Funny how opposite Aiden and Brody are. I have to push Aiden in the water and Brody...well he's a water baby. As soon as you put him in the water hes trying to swim off just a kicking and moving those arms. Loves the water!

We will definitely do this every year until Aiden is a GREAT swimmer!
