Our little fish

The boys started swimming lessons again yesterday. They are both total water bugs but Kale has no fear and doesn't mind going under and dumping buckets of water over his head. Dane, on the other hand, puts his chin in the water when his instructors ask him to get his face wet. He has learned to keep his mouth shut and even knows how to spit it out if it sneaks in, instead of gagging on it like he used to do. Baby steps, right? There is an outdoor community pool that they will be taking lessons at this summer, but for now we're indoors at the park district pool. Dane is in a class of 4 kiddos with 2 instructors and Kale still has to go in with either Cameron or I. He has to be 3 to go in "alone".

Kale...totally relaxed in the water:

 He was laughing and squealing so loudly that it echoed in the pool!

 And Dane...anxiously waiting to really get in the water.

 He was all smiles the entire time he was in the water.
