first swim lesson

poolside after Jace's lesson. Julianne and Joel are about to get in the water

Tonight was the first of a series of swim lessons for the kids that will take us through the month of May. It's my way of easing into swim season. They will be able to get comfortable in the water just in time for our neighborhood pool to open.

Due to some schedule changes at the rec center Jace's lesson is the half hour before Julianne's. They have the same instructor. I figured Joel and I could take turns swimming with Julz while the other gets Jace cleaned up and dressed after his lesson. I did not anticipate how excited Jace would be for Julz to swim. He would not leave the edge of the pool while she was in the water. He danced at the edge giggling and talking to her and trying to talk to the instructor. It was adorable.

 We tucked in two very tired kids tonight.
