Finally Swimming




Lilly has finally learned to swim underwater. I enrolled her in swim lessons for two years. The last year she went she told the teacher what she was and was not going to do and at that point I just said forget it. She saw her cousins swimming and decided that she was going to swim and took off. She only swims if she can reach though and refuses to try in deeper water. When she jumps off a the diving board she has on a life jacket and a ring and determined not to go under water. (She gets this from both her grandmothers :0 ) Jackson will not swim but will go under water and stay 7-10 seconds at a time. He keeps his eyes open the whole time but he too refuses to swim and even go out in the water alone with a life jacket. I have thrown him out into the water with a life jacket on several times, but he just cries and go like lightening to the steps and then refuses to get back in the water.
