Forest has started swim lessons. Over the past months he has become so much more brave and confident in the water. I have loved watching his progression.
He has become faster at swimming
In this photo he was able to keep right up with his teacher (who was walking really fast) all by himself. It is a hard task for such tiny, skinny legs.
His teacher has been AMAZING! He is so patient with the 3 crazy boys in his class and does an amazing job at balancing all 3 of them.
Forest can swim on his own for about 4 strokes. He could swim further but needs to build up his confidence to do so.
Now the following four pictures are amazing, especially if you know where Forest started at. When he first started swim lessons he HATED going on his back.
Now look at him all by himself.
In this photo Bob is asking him if he is sleeping.
In this photo Forest is coming up from going under the rope, this no longer scares him like it did at first.
Here are the three boys after swim class. It has been really great for Forest to have the older boys in his class who he loves and looks up to. Watching them jump and swim in the water, I think, has inspired Forest to love the water too.

I am super proud of Forest. He really has taken off in the last little bit with swimming. My boys love swimming with him too. That is such a cute picture even with Ezra's funny face.
Love it babe, you're a great mom.
That's great! We'll have real swimmers in no time!
