This week Tucker started swimming lessons. They are his first lessons besides preschool, and Tucker loves to be in the water. He has so much fun being there, and exploring the water, the only problem is, he kind of likes to do his own thing, and is not afraid of the water.
His teachers name is Mrs. Stormy, or as Tucker calls her Mrs. Thunder. There are 4 people in his class, including our neighbor Austin (our other neighbor Andrea has swimming lessons at the same time).
We have gone about 2 days now, (we’ll go through the end of next week) and Tucker loves it, but he has a hard time staying close to the teacher. She is really good about trying to watch all 4 kids, but she does alot of one on one stuff, to help them learn to float on their back, or on their front, and while she is doing this, the kids are supposed to stay on the wall, and just sit there. We’ll Tucker has never been know for just sitting there. So while the other kids are out with Mrs. Stormy, he jumps around in the water, kind of floats off, looks under the water, and just does his own thing. Wandering far away from the class and the teacher.
He has passed everything off (I think) that she has asked him to do, and he is loving every second of it. That is something that is important in life right? Finding happiness and enjoyment during the little times when we are just supposed to be sitting at the wall.
