Swimming classes.

Couple weeks ago Noah started to take swimming classes for beginner tots. He wasn't too happy at first but after a first lesson he eased into it and he now loves it. The class runs twice a week for 30 minutes. I cannot even tell you how proud I am of Noah. He is a leader in his class and although he has some problems with paying attention to the teacher (doing his own thing like splashing other kids with water or basically wandering off to another corner of the pool when everybody else stays with the teacher) he always does all exercises correctly and he is definitely the best swimmer in the whole group. Some kids take this class for the third time in a row but this won't be a case with Noah. He is very natural and confident in a water (yeah he is a Scorpion so naturally he should like the water). When i tried to teach him to submerge his head under the water while we were taking a bath together not too long ago, he refused it and didn't want to try it. I thought he was not getting the idea of holding his breath under the water. Well, in a class he got it almost instantly. When all the other kids (the same age)just blow bubbles in a water, Noah is already under the water with his hands stretched out like an airplane and he does it over and over again. The teacher is very impressed with him and Noah is now presenting how to get under the water for all other kids :) Soon he will be teaching me how to submerge under water without holding my nose. I swear I cannot do it but want to learn at some point. Anyways, i think Noah is very motivated to swim so he can swim with dolphins one day :)I promised him a while back that one day, I will take him to Florida and we will swim with dolphins. Not sure if i will ever be able to afford it but I will come up with money somehow for him. We went to the aquarium the other month and we saw a dolphin show and Noah was just mesmerized by the dolphins and the people who swam with them. I know he would have the time of his life if one day he actually had a chance to swim with dolphins...and he will. I promise... and when i promise something, I ALWAYS keep my promise.
