SWIMMING!!

In 10 short days Sage learned to swim!!!!

 A lady from our church, Ms Jackie, teaches from her pool 30 minutes a day for two weeks (not weekends),  I was skeptical at first. Sage loves to swim but he relys on his floaties so much.  He could swim by himself with us watching from the side with his floaties, jumping in and just floating.  Wasn't sure how uneasy he would feel without them on. And the first day he was at swim lessons he cried the whole time.  Was in the water for a total of 2 minutes.  Screaming like he was really scared.  Ms Jackie was so good with him.  Never pushed him too much and always calmed him down with a song.  The second day was better, but he still wouldn't put his head under.  The third day he was jumping in!  the fourth day he jumped in from the diving board!!  Now Sage is swimming unassisted after jumping off the board.  What a difference!!! We love Mrs. Jackie!!   Sage LOVED all her songs too!!  And I learned some new fun Christian songs as well!!  I wish I had more time to do some mommy and me lesson with Avery! Maybe in July...

At the end of the 10 days the kdis got to put their handprints on her fence,  Sage put his green ones right next to his cousins!!They look like the smallest hands on the fence so far.

Second day with Lia.
