Swim

It's that time of year again. It's time for swim class. Ryan started swimming lessons last week. He was grinning ear to ear the entire time he was in the pool. I was grinning ear to ear because I didn't have to go in the pool with him. Ryan is old enough to go in the pool with other kids and a swim teacher and no mommy or daddy. He is the youngest and smallest boy in the class of five kids. He kept up really well with the other kids in his class until they held hands and sang "Ring Around the Rosy" when they 'all fell down' the kids went under water and pulled Ryan under with them. He was very upset at that point and the swim teacher had to hold him for the last few minutes of class. He did not like the water in his ears or eyes. Before going back to swim class I bought Ryan some swim goggles. He has been using them in the bathtub and putting his face in the water, but it is going to take him awhile to get over being pulled under.
