I've seen good progress with both kids. Belle still doesn't have the confidence to go swimming on her own. Ethan would love to swim on his own, but would probably sink at this point. His teacher is constantly telling Nic how well he's doing and how she doesn't often see kids his age swimming so well. She could totally be stroking our egos or something, who knows. Today they even let Ethan hang onto the edge and kick off the wall. Something about the way he threw his arms up after he kicked off was impressive. Like he already knew to get into the swim position after kicking off the wall. I don't know, maybe swimming will be Ethan's thing. Although I imagine anything physical will be his thing.
Belle is doing good kicking off the wall and swimming to her teacher under water. They have also been practicing their floating. She's pretty good at going from a front float to a back float.
Neither kid will probably be ditching the floaties this year.

is this the first time Ethan is taking lessons? He sounds like he is doing awesome, Lyla's class is not doing anything like pushing off a wall. Impressive!
oh and I totally bought that suit for lyla that belle has on! too bad she didn't like it. :(
Your kids are socute. I can not wait to get home and see them.
Mandy your kids are so darn cute. I cannot wait to get home and see them
@Anita - It is Ethan's first class. I think we'll do private lessons next year (you have to be 3) since he wouldn't quite be old enough for group lessons.
Belle likes the swim suit, it just doesn't fit the best. =)
@Nellie - We'll see ya Memorial Day weekend!
