Swim Lessons

Anna and Thys took swimming lessons for the last two weeks. We are taking a short break because Mel is off this week, then we're back at it for a few weeks. Thys was VERY hesitant about the whole process, but he did great, and even found the courage to be helped off the diving board. He surprised us all--even himself, I think. I told him if he was brave enough to go off the diving board, he was definitely brave enough to go to the bathroom in the toilet (and that is a whole other story!). Anna, of course, had no issues jumping off the diving board, even without a life jacket. She scared me to death when she went off the high dive, but she loved it!
