Caleb's First Swim Class

Caleb had his first swim class 2 weeks ago. He is taking them at Emler in Southlake just like Ethan did. I was fully prepared for him to scream the entire time. He is not scared of the water but he is scared of strangers! He was super excited to get to swim...until we walked him up to the pool. His grip got super tight on both of our hands and we had to peel him off and nudge him toward the pool. Then we bolted!

Here he is giving us "the look". Much to our dismay he never shed one tear. Just looked a little unsure of what was going on.

He practiced holding onto the floaties and kicking his legs.

Very serious. Still no smile.

He learned how to get out of the pool by himself. (I took most of these pics through the glass so I wouldn't disturb him).

Just making sure we're still there.

He was a little unsure about floating on his back. She kept patting his chest and sang the ABC's to him to help him relax.

There's a smile!

He was being silly and trying to look sad while rinsing off after class.

After swim class we went to eat at Christina's. It's only about 1 minute from Emler. He LOVES the tacos there!

And of course, poor little Ethan was there too. He got to play at the "Stay N Play" place across from swim class. And then he dined of mac and cheese at the mexican restaurant. (So my child!!)

*Update: He did great at his next swim class. He jumped off the side from a sitting position and went under water. After class he went down the big yellow slide! It's super fast and threw him under the water. He definitely doesn't have the fear that Ethan had.
