This is Lane at his swimming lessons. He did REALLY well.... when I could actually get him there! It's been a stressful 2 weeks with him. It was M-F for 2 weeks. He did great the first day, the next 2 days he wouldn't get in the pool. Then Reese came home for 3 of the days and he went no problem. As soon as Reese left on Tuesday morning he wouldn't go again. Finally I got him to go yesterday on the very last day. He ended up going 5 out of the 10 days. The days he went he loved it. He's not scared at all, I think it was more of a control issue than anything. So needless to say I am glad it's over. Next time I will sign him up during a time when Reese will be around to take him on the weekends (whenever that might be??). Anyway just had to vent a little! The video at the bottom is the very last day. He used to only go underwater if he was plugging his nose. He now knows how to hold his breath and blow bubbles and put his face under the water to swim. He does front floats and back floats and jumps of the side of the pool and goes under water. These are all new things for him, so we accomplished something!

Great job Lane now you need to teach Kristian!
Awesome that he did really well when he went -- but I know those mornings of him not wanting to go had to be hard for you. He probably wants Reese home more and he is a little uncertain about when this baby is coming and how that will rock his world! So I bet you are right, the swim lessons were him wanting control... I bet it will be an adjustment when the baby comes... but with time I am sure Lane will be an awesome big bro too!!
