Today the boys finish their two-week swimming lesson session.
And, let’s just say that they have progressed far beyond what I would’ve imagined.
The progression and dialect goes something like this……..
“Watch me go down the slide with no floaties {without you catching me}!”
“Look at me swim and take breaths like she taught me to {without stopping to hold on to you}!”
“I can swim with my head underwater {without your help}!”
“I can jump off the diving board and swim to the ladder by myself {I don’t need you to catch me anymore}!”
“Do you see me doing it all by myself {without you or Daddy}?!”
{{Why yes I do see you Mr. Goggle Eyes}}
“Are you proud of me {for swimming without you}?!”
“I can swim deep in the deep end!!”
Excuse me for a second while I go chew on the fact that they do not need me anymore!
WAIT!! What’s this? Is he nervous/frightened/scared?
Allow me to set down this camera while I go catch my baby as he jumps off the diving board!!!
YEAH!! For a bit longer, he does need me!!
::I am, however, the teeniest bit thrilled that they are not hanging/climbing/tugging on me (and my swimsuit) every waking minute that we are in the water::

Good Lord, I know just what you mean and I don't miss that at all either! So happy for you to have reached this stage after many long Summers of swimsuit yanking. Enjoy! ;-)
