Finally! Carter's Turn

Carter finally got his turn for swimming lessons. He has always been very cautious when it comes to water. He has always hated bath time and when he got old enough to stand we quit with the baths and switched to showering him. He has taken level one swim lesson three times and this year he did very well. The first year of swim he would not put his head under water for anything not even to get the fun toys at the bottom of pool in the shallow end. Then, his 2nd year he conquered putting his head under water, but he would not jump off the edge of pool. So, this year he did both and in fact you could not even tell that he has had a fear of water. I think Ashlynn was little help in showing him it is not so scary.

Ashlynn is our little leader and usually has the last word in our family.

Carter under the water! We are so proud of him!
Yes! He has finally passed level one! What a great accomplishment for Carter.
He is so excited that he wants to start level two tomorrow.

Tell Carter how proud I am of him. What an accomplishment for someone with the fear of the water.
Tell Ashlynn "Good Job" at being a leader. She'll always be one.
