Swim Lessons

This week while I have been out of town for business, Riley stayed in Brewton and had swimming lessons.  He has been afraid of the pool since his "bubble up" episode about a month ago, so he is not always ready to get in the pool.  But he talks quite fondly of Emily his teacher and about how much fun he has swimming with her. 

Back at the end of May, Riley and I were swimming at the Dwyers with Carolyn, Jake, Tracy, Avery, Kim and Thomas when Riley removed his swimmies.  Then he proceded to walk right down the steps of the pool and until he was under no one realized he had taken them off.  I was 10 feet away on the phone with my boss when I saw his sweet little face 6 inches below water staring up at all the bubbles coming out of his mouth.  Carolyn swooped him up and he was only under for seconds, but the event has left him a bit frightened of the water.  He does not want to get his head wet and he asks us to make sure this does not happen about 15 times a swim!
