Swim Lessons

Daddy took Kellan to his first ever swim lesson last Sunday.  Considering the last few experiences in a pool have elicited less than enthusiastic responses from K-Man, we weren't sure what kind of reaction to expect.  But happily, we think he rather enjoyed it this time.

The water noodle helped keep Kellan buoyant

Part of the lesson was to practice "jumping" into the pool by standing on a table that was under the water, then having Daddy lift him off

The best part about the class?  Three of Kellan's friends are in the class, too!  Pictured to the right of Kellan are Griffin (the redhead), who goes to the same daycare, and Jackson, who is not only part of our PEPS group, but also the son of one of Jared's coworkers (quick shout out to Jim!).  Not pictured is Flynn, our next door neighbor.  We're sure having so many familiar faces in the water helped Kellan adjust quickly.

They have plenty of pool toys to choose from to keep the toddlers entertained.  Kellan's toy of choice?  A red ball shaped to look like a pirate's head.

Kellan's first swim lesson couldn't have gone better, but the true highlight came when Grandma and Grandpa made a surprise appearance at the pool!  Thanks for the visit and the family lunch date afterwards, G & G!
