We love Ms. Barbara

Jackson started private swim lessons two weeks ago, and he is doing great. We were nervous that he wouldn't even get in the water with mom and dad sitting on the side, but Ms. Barbara won him over and in he went. We decided that he finally needed private lesson, because the group classes just weren't cutting it. Our goal is to keep the lessons going throughout fall and spring and when next summer rolls around he will be swimming. Right now we are still working on getting our nose under the water, so fingers crossed that our plan works!


Jackson finally jumped into the fun noodle and Ms. Barbara after telling her that he never jumps into the water. Ummmm really Jackson, because all summer long you jumped to me and got me soaking wet?!?!


He loves to practice his kicking in the pool and the bath tub.


After his lesson we head to the locker rooms to take a shower. He loves helping clean himself with the hand-help water faucet. It is one of the highlights of swim lessons. Since it is nearing bed time by the time we get home, he just puts his pajamas after his shower. However, that certainly doesn't stop him from running around on the way to the car.


Hopefully Ms. Barbara can get this little man swimming, so I don't have to hold two kiddos in the pool next summer!

Poppy will be happy to know Jackson is taking lessons. Maybe he won't take too long to learn and can swim with the girls next time he is here. Love, Emmy
