Jack started private swim lessons last week - today was only lesson number 5. Anyone that knows Jack well, knows he is not afraid of the water, never has been. This is good and bad as I fear one day he might fall in water and not know how to swim. He is doing GREAT at swim lessons!!!!! We are so proud of him we can't stand it. He is trying so hard. The first day he drank a ton of water because he didn't know how to blow in the water. Since that first day, we practice blowing in a big clear bowl of water every night. He's got the blowing down pat and he can apparently hold his breath for quite a while under water. Now he just needs to learn to come up for air at some point. His teacher Kale is just wonderful with Jack as you will see in the videos. Sorry I posted so many, it was hard to narrow them down b/c of course we thought they were all amazing! Go Jack!
