Lukas's swim lesson

Lukas's swim lessons have not gone quite as swimmingly as Katharine's. Week 1 is complete, and I think that Lukas is now more afraid of the water than he was when he started.

I snapped this photo on Day 1 during happier times, before it set in that swim lessons would consistantly result in his head getting wet.

The rest of the week looked more like this- Lukas standing on the side of the pool with his fingers in his mouth, quite often crying. This is the same kid who is always blowing bathtub bubbles and jumping face first into our backyard inflatable pool.

The teachers there are great, and try really hard with them. He always lasts the whole class, and I give him high fives for his effort. And afterwards he always talks about what a great time he had… but dang- that boy has got to learn how to swim one of these days :)
