Other great news is that Rachel passed swimming lessons. Rachel and Jacob took swimming lessons for two weeks and loved it. Rachel has been in the same class since she was 6. Don't get me wrong she is an amazing swimmer. She is almost done with swimming lessons but she has never been able to tread water so they have never let her pass. Well she finally did it. She passed and I am so excited because she now has one class left of lessons and then she is in lifeguard training. She passed fish and the last is flying fish. Shark is after but that is more about lifeguard stuff. Oh I was so happy when she showed me her card and it said that she had passed. I had told her that if she didn't pass I was still going to move her up. I tried to move her up last year and she only lasted about ten minutes in the class and started crying and she never got in the pool again that summer for lesson. They really push you. You have to swim a mile at the last class. I am happy to know that she will be ready for it. It may take time to pass but she got their on her own without me moving her up.
Jacob loves swimming lessons. He has a harder time because he can't kick his legs like most kids can but he loves it and has so much fun. He is always making his teacher laugh and the other kids. He is such a jokester. He would always come home and talk about how he swam the whole length of the pool even though he never did. I sure love him. His favorite part those was jumping off the diving board. He looks forward to it every time he takes lessons.
