So, yesterday Austin had swim lessons and Colton went too. They both did a great job! When we got there I told Austin to take off his shoes and shirt so Colton also leaned over and unvelcroed his sandals and tried to get his shirt off too! Colton watched patiently from the sidelines for half of the lesson and then he sat on my lap for a bit. He also made a new friend, Berkley, and played with her for the last part of the lesson. Austin is getting really comfortable with the back float, of course the teacher is right there with him but he is looking much more relaxed than he did the first couple of days. He is still very excited to get there and get started, which is great. His favorite part about the lesson was "Jumping In!" At the end of the lesson she lets each kid jump in twice! Austin is the only kid that gets really into it; he steps back a couple steps to get a running start and he tucks his knees! He's a little fish when it comes to the water.
And later on last night . . .
Austin: "Mommy, me and Colton are going to be Super Heroes when we get bigger."
Mommy: "Sounds great . . . what kind of super powers will you have?"
Austin: "Moooommy. (He says mommy as if I am asking a question I should already know the answer too!) First me and Colton need to eat Super Hero food so we can get bigger and stronger and get our Super Hero super powers."
Mommy: "What is Super Hero food?"
Austin: "Moooommy. Super Hero food is like carrots, cooocumbers, hot dogs and milk."
Mommy: "Well those are your favorite foods this week so you should be a Super Hero in no time!"
Austin: "Yeah. Then me and Colton will be able to fly and rescue people." - This last part was said with a little gleam in his eye as he's looking at Colton. Those two are in for some great adventures!!
