Swimming

Ethan has become a fish!  After successfully completing Sea Turtle (the first level of swimming) last summer after his 5th attempt, he has sailed through the rest of the levels.  During spring break, he passed both Crocodile and Whale (Level 4 and 5) and conquered both the slide and the diving board!  Way to go, Ethan!

 

Ethan is a Salamander!

Ethan is a salamander!  It has been a long and windy road with a lot of bumps, but finally he has managed to find the confidence within to brave putting his eyes, nose and mouth in the water at the same time...for three seconds! It wasn't too long ago that just getting in to the water with a teacher was a monumental accomplishment.  But this summer, the summer he turned 5, we've seen a big change in confidence.  I'm not sure if it can be attributed to preschool or just the understanding that comes as we get older, but we are sure proud of him!
