Gavin Update

Gavin has almost completed 5 weeks of "aquatic survival" swim lessons through Infant Swimming Resource. I actually do not even have photos to share. I need to take some tomorrow. The program is wonderful, although a big commitment. Gavin swims Monday through Friday for 10 minutes, for 6 weeks. He is doing really well. The first few weeks he cried through the whole 10 minute lesson. Now, he doesn't so much cry, but he does fuss a bit. He loves the swimming, but does not always love the floating, rollovers, flippy-doodles or popscicles. They teach a sequence of swim-float-swim. Next week will be our last, so during 2 of the classes he will go in fully clothed to simulate what it might be like to accidentally fall in. I am really impressed with the infants that I have seen complete the program.

Gavin has also been learning how to use the potty. I try to let him wear underwear while we are at home. He definitely understands and is doing a good job. He has a few accidents here and there, but I think he is doing great for 21 months old.
