Ronan started swimming lessons at the beginning of summer, and I was happy to enroll him in classes that didn't necessitate me going in the water with him. He was hesitant at first and did not want to follow the teacher's instructions, he just wanted to play in the water. During the second week of classes Ronan said on the way to the pool, "I don't want the teacher there. I want her to go home!" By the end of the session he was doing really well - even submursing his whole head in the pool.

Practicing his back float. This is what he improved the most on by the end of classes - he had such a hard time trusting that she wouldn't let his face get wet! Ronan graduated from Preschool One and tonight we start Preschool Two!
