Summer has finally arrived! Mateo and I have been enjoying our time together. One of the many activities on the summer agenda is swimming lessons. It has been quite the adventure! Last summer we took "Mommy and me" swimming lessons, on the fifth day, Mateo fell and busted his chin open! My poor baby couldn't go back for the second week! I felt horrible! He however did enjoy the first week and did well considering he was only 8 months old. The good news about this year is that we made it through almost the whole two weeks without an injury, thank you Lord!! However he is 19 months old this time around and has a different approach for swimming lessons, his own! He will only do "kicks" and "ice cream scoops" for Ms. Judy, and the rest of the time he would rather practice his jumps into the pool! However I must say his expressions are priceless and adoreable jumping into the pool. David came to see us today, which did not go well! Mateo completely forgot swimming and wanted David to get him out so he could hold him! As I tried to redirect his attention back to the task at hand, he began to shout "need break mommy", which means please hold me, I don't want to swim. Although it was a little chaotic today, I'm glad David came to see Mateo swim and show off what he has learned.
On the first day of swimming!
He was showing Daddy his kicks!
He's such an awesome swimmer!!
Getting ready to jump!
Having a blast!!
