Swimming Update

We've been swimming now for a whole week and Benjamin actually likes it!  I think after the first day, he got over his anxiety in the water and he's enjoyed splashing around with the other kids.  
His favorite thing to do is the Motorboat Song that we sing as a group.  It is very simple but sometimes that is the most fun.  The lyrics are "Motorboat, motorboat, going so slow..." as the moms turn around slowly in a circle and pull the kids slowly through the water.  Then, "Motorboat, Motorboat going so fast..." as the moms turn around faster and move their kids faster through the water, and finally "Motorboat, motorboat, step on the gas!" and then we lift our kids up out of the water and splash them back down. 
Here is Benjamin after class today.  He doesn't look like he was having a good time but that's because he was so tired!  And cold! The baby pool broke after our first day so we haven't been able to warm up after class :(
And then he fell asleep in his highchair halfway through lunch:

That's a blue eyed baby.
I notice he didn't let go of his food when he fell asleep. Mother

Jessica--He is such a beautiful little boy. I love it when they fall asleep eating. So sweet. I hope all is well. Love, Joy.
