Swim Lessons



Julia and I took Noah and Hayden to swimming lessons the last couple of weeks! It has been so fun to see them play and enjoy the water. And this is what is so fun about having cousins that are the same age as Noah! I am so excited to see the little relationships that he will have with the two cousins that were born the summer he was.

So, I've had a couple of people ask if Noah really learned to swim in some sarcastic manner... No. Of course, we are born with then instinct to swim, we'd been doing it for nine months! But the teacher just taught us mommies good ways to get the kids used to the water, the motions to paddle and kick and that it was okay if our faces (and sometimes our whole head) in the water. Noah is not ready for the Olympic Swim Team, but he may be someday if we go to swim lessons every summer!

We had a great time and a big thanks to Julia who came to pick me up, in Park City, at 4 bucks a gallon, so we could do swim lessons together. Check out Julia's blog for the great story on the Dora Diaper Debacle.
