Swimming Lessons

I'm sure all parents can relate to wanting things for your kids that you either had growing up or didn't have growing up...for Mom, it is learning how to swim! As an adult who is quite fearful of the water, I definitely want Jake to learn to swim at an early age and be comfortable in the water. So we recently signed him up for weekly swim lessons at the Peninsula Jewish Community Center. The first lesson was pretty tough as he cried for the first 10 minutes of the class but soon calmed down and realized how much fun it was to splash in the water. From that point on, he hasn't looked back and we can see major improvements from week to week.




Fortunately, Jake is used to getting his head wet during his bath time but I think he enjoys this activity the most since he also gets to pour water on Dad's head.




Another big plus to the swim lesson is that he gets to take it with his friend Annika! Annika is Auntie Carman and Uncle Todd's daughter who is almost 11 months. She is also Mom's goddaughter and we are all thrilled that the two of them are in the same class together.
