After a hard day of play group, afternoon biking and exploring, and then swim lessons..... Wyatt fell asleep before 8 PM. His expression is so peaceful. He curled up in one of the leather club chairs (with his trusty camera at his side -- a boy after my own heart) and was gone into dreamland in seconds. Swimming lessons are hard for Wyatt. He loves the lessons, but he CANNOT for the life of him float. He sinks like a rock faster than he can swim. Randy says it runs in the family. Poor boy. He has been mildly terrified of water over his head since he was little, and then not being able to float...... I think the two probably go hand in hand. So to swim lessons we go. He at least seems to be enjoying the lessons better than he did last year. But it takes a lot out of him.
This child, on the other hand.... do you like his scowl? Believe you me, that is just the tip of the innocent little iceberg baby, just the tip. Everyone at the pool last night got to see more than just the innocent little tip. He has NO FEAR when it comes to the pool. And since he cannot swim yet, that is a BAD thing. The little "tadpoles" are supposed to keep one hand on the rail of their submerged stand continually.......so that they don't end up tad-poling the bottom of the pool while the teacher is helping another child. Walter didn't listen. Walter had to sit on the edge of the pool for 5......long.......minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if he had to repeat this little scenario next week. One thing for him, he is the only tadpole that will completely submerge himself under the water, and that will gleefully jump into the pool......time and time again if he is allowed. If Wyatt's not careful, Walter may just catch up to him in swimming lessons. Poor Wyatt.
