This summer we were finally able to put Andrew into swimming lessons. This is something I have wanted to do for a while now but never had the time/opportunity. We were really lucky because he ended up having a great lifeguard as the teacher. In fact she's become our new babysitter :-) The lessons were for 2 weeks and it was a rough 2 weeks. Andrew did great with everything except going under water. He screamed like someone was trying to kill him whenever going under was mentioned. Becca (the lifeguard) would take him under even while screaming. It was kind of funny (yes I realize that probably makes me a bad mom). Finally on the last day he put his head under and he's been doing it ever since. You might wonder what finally motivated him to go under water. On the last day Adam was able to come and watch lessons. He told Andrew that is he went under water on his own, Adam would throw me into the pool. Thankfully I never went into the water :-)
