Jed has always been a little fish but we definitely tuned that awesome corner this year where we feel very comfortable with him in the pool... which is AWESOME for a parent's mind! We took swim lessons from Jan Thomas. It was a fantastic experience. The first day, Jed did awesome (no tears)... the second day, like they said, he tested our sweet teacher Holly. But, they took care of it with some tough but productive tactics. Not everyone agrees with the process, but I do, and it WORKS! Jed went back the third lesson and got so much out of the process and loves Holly... "I listened and obeyed today with miss Holly, mommy..." Said very proudly. And in the pool, I think, based on the little looks he gives her that he is flirting with her. It is so cute.
One of the best parts of the experience was doing the lessons with his BEST BUDDY... "Austie". They are so cute together.

And here they go!
Floating... this year in our pool he floated by himself for 20 seconds! What a great skill to have.
The beautiful Aubrey Rose, who is so big she doesn't need lessons, but enjoys the kiddy pool while they boys are busy.
Jed loves diving boards. He sees what Aubrey does off of them and tries to mimic it. If she does it, he wants to try it, which is scary at times... spins, dives, back dives... I guess it's good to hang with older kids!

And the highlight... the slide. He feels so big going off of the slide!
And introducing, the Champion Swimmers, Jed and Austin!
Buddies for life!
