Little fish

Started swim lessons for Byron today. That boy is fearless in the water. We went to a pool party hosted by Aaron's boss and his wife this weekend. Byron was all over the water. He has some water wings and was good to go. He was going down an 8 ft slide into the water by himself (into dad's arms) and jumping off the diving board. He put the 6 year old there to shame. :)

Today the lesson went well. It's at our Y. I love that place! There were 5 boys in his class. The instructors had the boys sit on a step while they motored around with 2 of the boys at a time. One boy just took off from the steps, trying to swim and sank. The lifeguard was right there, so no harm done. Byron thought it looked like fun and tried the same thing.

It's been too hot to really play outside lately unless you're in the water. We've actually had some big thunderstorms late in the day the last two days. Our yard is really liking it. It's looking less and less like a big yellow patch and more greenish now, though pretty spotty.
