Swimming Lessons

Henrik and I find this picture hilarious. It is a perfect representation of our two very different boys, and their very different feelings about swimming lessons. E's, "Ok, I'll give it a try, but I don't really want to do this, and I already know I'm not going to like it . . ." expression, pretty much sums up his swimming lessons experience.

N, on the other hand, was absolutely head over heels (literally) over his chance to learn how to swim. He's our fish! The teachers commented that he never stopped smiling - even when he accidentally dove in head first! During the life jacket/deep end lesson, N was supposed to jump to his teacher, but somehow ended up diving head first. He just came up smiling, albeit a bit surprised. What is it with N and water???

Oh honestly, could a picture convey their feelings any better?

What sparkle N has! Adorable.

E - handsome as ever.

This was our boys at that age! Matt didn't want to do it because he only wanted to do things he could do well....and Timmy was a fearless little fish. Never fear....they are both good swimmers today. :)
