Splish Splash

Benny started swimming lessons at the local middle school community pool on Sunday night. He goes 4 Sundays in a row and we go in the pool with him. The pool was 83 degrees so it was nice and warm. His swim trunks looked so tiny...but once they were on him they hung all the way down to his ankles...too cute! Pat took him in the pool the first night so I could snap pictures. I even had to step out a couple times so that my lens would stop fogging up. He was by far the happiest kid in the pool...and the youngest. Most of the kiddos were between 1 and 3. He had no fear at all. He splashed and did not mind at all when his face got wet. He was rubbing his eyes by the end of the 40 minutes and he was barely out of the locker room before he fell asleep. What a little fish. There was one little girl in Ben's class that just cried and cried and would not go in the pool. I felt so bad for her poor dad. You could tell he was the hands off type and had no idea what to do. He just looked so defeated. I am guessing we may see mom at the lesson next week:)
