Summer pooltime

Ethan took a couple of lessons this summer. Molly, a hs girl, came over to our house and gave him lessons in our pool. I think she was only here 3 times.
He made progress, but not giving up on the floaties quite yet.

He will jump in from the side and knows to hold his breath. That is major progress.
Here is jumping in from the top step of the ladder...

So funny, how he says "I know" instead of 'thank you', need to get him on that more.
Trent showed him how to jump off of the side of the deck. So proud of how brave he is jumping in the pool now.

Tomorrow is his first day of kindergarten. He has Mrs. Pettit, who I was hoping for. He got afternoon as we requested. I'm going to take a half day tomorrow to take him and pick him up.
My baby is growing up!
