Swimming

Swimming classes are about half over. Below is a summary of the first 4 weeks:

Week 1: The first half of class Tyler was splashing, kicking, and being very happy and playful. There was a maternity class next to us and they told us that they hoped that their little ones will enjoy the water as much as Tyler. Then it took a turn for the worse. We were doing a dunking exercize for the older kids. For Tyler's age we could just splash water, dunk his chin, whatever we felt comfortable with. Dan dunked Tyler. He didn't intead to and wished he didn't because Tyler didn't like it at all. The rest of the class he was more mellow and clingy. This picture is post dunk.

Week 2: Tyler was super playful and happy the whole class!

Week 3: Tyler was a bit fussy and very clingy most of the class. To be fair class starts at the time he would normally start getting ready for bed. We took a late class so Dan could come. This particular morning Tyler work up a 5 instead of 7. I tried to keep him up for his normal nap times so he wouldn't be exhausted at night but he was too tired.

Week4: Was much better than week 3 but Tyler still wasn't at par (He had plenty of sleep today). He was somewhat playful but was still a bit clingy and didn't seem to enjoy himself as much as earlier weeks.
