swim lessons.

On Friday, June 19th, Brooks had his first day of swim lessons with Mrs. Monica, the swim saint. I say that because she is the most kindhearted, patient, and encouraging instructor. Brooks absolutely adored her and so did I.

Over the span of three days, our little fish learned how to hold his breath under water, put his face in, float on his back, kick and "scoop." By the last day he was swimming small distances without the help of Monica!

Things that Brooks loved about swim lessons:

1. Mrs. Monica
2. Having his buddy Gray in his class
3. Squirt guns
4. Goggles
5. Jumping off the diving board
6. Daddy showing up to watch him

I really wish that we had signed up for more than one session. Bad move on my part. Next summer, we will sign up for at least two. Five if it were up to Brooks…
