Swimmers

Here's how it started. Wednesday night Brian took both the boys to the pool while I got to stay home and have some mom time (really Heather time, cause I get a ton of 'mom' time). When they got back he told me Neil was now swimming. Part of me couldn't quite believe it because aside from teaching the boys how to kick Brian hasn't introduced any this is how you swim instruction.

Thursday night I went to the pool with the guys and brought along the camera just in case I could catch Neil on film. Not only did I get footage of Neil, but I think all of mom and dad's praise of Neil prompted Ben to start swimming too. (How many feats will Ben take on just because he see his younger brother doing it?) Here's the video:


Sorry about all the rumbling, it was super windy while I was filming.

Wow! I'm impressed. I won't tell the boys that Dad is walking further away from them each time.

Great swimming boys. No instructions needed. Just a need to get where you want to go in the water!
Grandma can't wait to see more.

They look ready for swim lessons. Of all the activities that Morgan and Gwen participated in swimming was by far the BEST investment.

WOW - spending time with Uncle Dan and Aunt Donna has just gotten a new layer-swimming without a duck. Michael Phelps watch out.
