Swim lessons

With the end of my pregnancy and Nash in the NICU last summer, 
we didn't get to the pool much. This year with our YMCA membership and the
kids signed up for swim lessons, we are in the pool a lot.
MAY swim lessons

Saylor despite her sweet smile here, cried through most of her lessons.


Lincoln turned into a fish. Although we didn't sign him up for private lessons, he often had one.
The other kids in the class were absent or refused to participate.
He can backstroke the length of the pool

Tatum could swim independently before but lessons have sure helped her confidence and endurance in the water.

Kids are awesome. We got 'em in swimming lessons. If Saylor put half the effort into swimming that she puts into crying about it all the way there, she'd be a dolphin by now. Lincoln swims like he plays...hard and nonsensical at times but always whole-hearted. Tatum reminds me so much of Brooklyn as a kid that it's ridiculous sometimes. She reads non-stop, constantly listens to Michael Jackson and is very devious in her teasing mechanisms. If I ever hear her attempt to convince Linc that "Nantucket" is a swear word, I'll intervene with a quickness...

Otherwise, it's family junk as usual...just trying to lay low in the heat.
