We just signed Connor up for swimming lessons; he is now in a class 15 minutes before Logan’s.  For the past couple of days Connor did not seem too excited about the class, but today he did not seem to mind.  Even Logan was fine when he was reminded that it was swimming day, which is not always the case.  As we were all off for President’s Day, both Stuart and I took the boys to the class today.  We arrived a bit early, and the two boys were happy in their trunks waiting for class to start.  When it was almost time, Connor stood by the door waiting for his name to be called.  He looked quite serious and he told Logan not to bother him when Logan was being silly around him.  He went in with the teacher, he followed the class all the way to the far end of the pool and took off his slippers.  The teacher gave him a hand to walk into the pool.  He looked a bit timid but was following instruction.  A couple of minutes later, he looked a bit sad sitting on the edge.  But before long, he seemed happy again, and he looked over to us with a smile periodically.  The kids played around in the water, picking up toys, dipping their faces in water.  Once we saw that Connor was dipped into the water which he did not seem to enjoy but he recovered quickly.  At the end of the class, I met Connor and the teacher at the shower.  Connor was still shivering in the warm shower but was smiley.  The teacher was happy to share that Connor did very well following what she asked him to do.  Connor told me he had fun too and did not mind returning to class weekly.

     Logan had fun as well.  He was smiling a lot during the class.  He was still trying to avoid putting his face in the water unless the teacher was working with him.  At the end of the class, the teacher told Stuart that Logan was doing better and was less timid today.

    Both boys were tired at bedtime from their exercise, Connor suggested reading only two books and Logan did not disagree.  Both of them were rubbing their eyes while I was reading.
