Swim lessons and Ballet

Oh yes, we have been able to put the kids in activities this summer and it has been great fun for me and the kids. The kids have actually done two sessions of swim lessons and are learning incredibly fast. Julia is in the "Shrimp" class and is being taught to float on her back and how to bob up and down in the water. She loves to play the shark game and is just a fish in the water. Bryce is the star of his class. We are taking a mom and tot class and I'm able to help him in the water. Many of the parents express how he is doing so well and how he has no fear. (that can be good or bad depending on how you view it!)He loves to jump in and try to swim to the wall. He also enjoys throwing pool rings and and retrieving them with his hands or feet! Funniest thing he does in water is when he grabs he feet, curls in to a ball and just floats. I am so glad they were able to take swim lessons and hope that soon they will be strong swimmers.
Julia and Bryce are also taking dance at the local dance studio. Bryce has been so slow to warm up to taking the class. He is timid and doesn't want to leave my side. I am the only parent that stays in the class to help her child. Bryce is the very youngest, and has become clingy over the past two months. I think he still likes to go, he just wants to make 100% sure that I'm not leaving him there alone!! Julia looks so adorable in her leotard and ballet skirt. She is learning basic ballet and tap moves and is in a small class so she has lots of attention from the teachers.
Julia is looking forward to starting soccer in the fall.
