Little Fish

We went swimming at the Kamas pool today so the boys could show Darryl what they learned at swimming lessons. Kade did many cannon balls, forward and backward, off the side of the pool. He begged to let him go off the diving board but he has to be able to swim well without a life jacket before they allow it-- maybe next year. Clint talked underwater and swam underwater for Darryl. By the time our trip was over Kade and Clint were going down the big yellow slide by themselves(with life jackets), swimming over to the side, and getting out to do it again. It's crazy to see them get more and more independent. My babies are growing up. I just can't believe that 2 weeks ago Clint was saying he was just going to, "stay in the showers," during swimming lessons to being able to go down the slide alone and then swim to the side. It's funny how it's all about what we tell ourselves we can and can't do. During lessons Clint's teacher tried almost daily to get Clint to go down the little blue slide(without a jacket) by himself with all the other kids. Clint wouldn't do it but right before we left today he took off his jacket and went down the slide. He was so pleasantly surprised that it shot him out onto his feet. I think he loves it now. Cole went swimming for his first time. He had a good time too-- until it was dinner time.
