Lincoln took two weeks of swimming lessons at the Y. He had a really great teacher and did alot better then I expected. His biggest accomplishment was learning to tolerate going underwater. He had never gone under before, not even close. I mean I had to work really hard to convince him to even put his face or head in the water a tiny bit, and he used to SCREAM when we would wash his hair in the bathtub. Ok, anyway... much to my surprise, he went down to get a swim ring when the teacher asked him to, and he now goes under without much hesitation.. I can even get him to try to swim to me if I stand a little ways away from the wall and he pushes off. He doesn't stay up but he is trying!

| Big improvement from crying in the tub because he got water on his back. Yes, that really did happen at one point. Are you starting to get a picture of how fun bath time used to be? |

| Lincoln is the one in the back. They were supposed to use their arms and race to the teacher from the side of the pool. I was glad he didn't notice he was the last one every day! |
