It has been easy for me to watch the boys swim at my parents house only because Jonah is the one in the deep end jumping off the board and swimming all over and Luke is a little more hesitant and likes to get reacquainted with the water. For the past two years he will stay in the shallow end and swim form side to side and tell me that he cannot swim in the deep water. I tell him that if he can swim it does not matter how deep the water is. He just does not get it. Last weekend Luke went to a birthday party at Emler and I saw them put a life jacket on him. When I went and asked him why he had it on a dad told me they put it on him because he would not swim the length of the pool so he had to wear it. Luke, Luke, Luke.
This is only our third or so time to swim this summer and I had Luke swim to me while I was in the middle of the pool and of course he said he did not want to so I told him that he was going to have to get out of the pool. Needless to say, he swam to me. He continued to do it and I would scoot further and further into the deep end. Within 15 minutes the boy was swimming only in the deep end telling me how much fun it is! He then decides to go off the diving board. He is now a deep end swimmer and having a blast. I am so excited that he finally got up the nerve to do it! YEA LUKIE!
He is even letting Hunter throw him up in the air towards the deep end. Who is this kid? I guess the little boy who made his momma sit in the garage in the 100 plus degree heat during swimming lessons two summers ago has finally gotten it. It's OK Luke, I will remind everyone YEARLY that you made your momma sit in the garage and melt because you would scream bloody murder during swim lessons with Mrs. Sally. :)
