Last week Lucie and Ryan started their first independent swim class. As I wrapped Ryan up in a towel after day one he exclaimed,
"That was fun!" Lucie loved it too, telling us all about her teacher Mr. John and his
"crazy moves" in the pool. I've noticed that he does a little dance with her each time she jumps in to him, which she can't describe before dissolving into a fit of giggles.
The class meets four days a week, giving the kids lots of time to try out their new skills in the pool and enjoy Mr. John's antics. Lucie and Ryan have been so excited to go to class, that they deck themselves out in full swim attire -- suits, rash guards, pink and green fluorescent goggles, and pool shoes --
hours before class starts. Ryan even turned down an offer for an ice cream cone before class, worrying that it might make us late (when really it would have made us thirty minutes early instead of our usual forty-five minute early arrival). Ah, to be a kid in the summertime!
