The very last thing they get to do every time is jump in to the water into the instructors arms. Both times Grady has told her "Scoot back I'm gonna jump on you" She didn't realize that this is something he has mastered this summer and that he can jump pretty far as this picture shows him slamming in to her body, oops!
Grady is the last boy in line following his friends. They went to a 2ft area of water and played ring around the rosie and wheels on the bus. It looked pretty fun from where I was sitting!
Today the kids had to put their whole head under water. This is the top of Grady's head just before he went under. He said "did you see that mom I did it all by myself!!"
They got to throw a ball out in to the pool then swim out to get it. At this point he is watching his feet kicking rapidly in the water
They are learning to do a back float. This is Grady doing a back float and kicking his legs. There were flags up above his head that he is looking at to tell her when to turn around.
They are learning to blow bubbles in the water. The first day Grady couldn't get blowing bubbles, keeping his arms straight and kicking with his legs all down at the same time. We practiced in the bath tub how to blow bubbles. He was a champ at it today and could blow bubbles and kick his legs at the same time this morning! This is him blowing bubbles!
These are all the kids in the class and the three instructors. Grady is the boy in the blue to the right.
Aaawww, what a big boy! Tell Gradster his Aunt Tisha is proud of him. I can't wait to give him a big hug in a couple of weeks. Nice work with the bathtub practicing :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute. The expressions on the adult faces are hilarious. Glad you can watch from the sidelines...or chase Bryce. :)
