Swimmer

Our little boy is growing, changing, maturing by the day. 



We started swimming lessons this summer.  I wanted a fun family activity for all of us this summer and I thought it would be a good idea to get Jackson acclimated to the water before he developed a fear of it.  It has turned out to be such a blast. 



Jackson has always loved the water and was never afraid to jump right in but we found when we were in a larger mass of water his perspective changed a bit.  He began lessons five weeks ago very timid of the water and spent most of the lesson latched onto us for dear life.  Now he lays out in the water, kicks his legs, and does his little swimmer arms all around the pool.  All the while I cheer him on as if we are the only ones in the entire pool (I could totally be one of those crazy Moms at her child's sporting events someday). 



This week he was all about jumping into the water from the edge of the pool and sticking his little face in the water to blow some bubbles.  Such a dare devil this little one has become. 


These little moments remind me of just how determined he is and how proud I am to be his Mommy.
