And, a couple of weeks ago (yes, I know I'm behind on my blogging), Parker completed his third year of swimming lessons with his buddy Julian and his teacher of three years, Ms. Laurie.
Parker started out the swimming season barely able to put his chin into the water and now...watch out...because he has become quite the fishey! First accomplishment at swimming lessons: putting his face in the water. Second accomplishment at swimming lessons: putting his whole head in the water. Boy were we proud of this. As Julian swam and swam circles around Parker, my little man was slowly getting more and more confident in his abilities.
And, this past week while on vacation, Parker swam (if only for a few feet) with his head underwater!
To make it even better...Parker learned how to go underwater, open his eyes (ouch!), and dive for his little plastic fish!
Wow! This has been an amazing summer and we are so proud of our little fish! Thanks Laurie and Julian for helping Parker gain more confidence in the water...we now have a full-fledged fishy on our hands!
