Swimming Lessons End........

Friday was the last day of swimming lessons and he had quite the on-lookers.  His Nana and Papa and his Dad.  He screamed a little more than he had all week but he is doing pretty good.  He still thinks that blowing bubbles in the water equates to sticking your tongue out into the water.  They want the kids to move their arms and legs together, which can take until the age of 5 to master.  Landon for sure mastered the kicking portion because that is all he wanted to do, especially if it involves splashing others. 

Here are some pictures.....

Here he is kicking when he wasn't supposed to, but at least he was kicking

Here he is trying to "blow bubbles"

Going off the diving board

Here he is getting out of the water, his favorite thing

Getting his treats from his teachers

It was bittersweet, but we will continue practicing until next year.  He has gotten better with the water, but still has a ways to go.

On another note, today's message at church was about People Pleasing and I could not help but to think about it's implications in my own life.  I have always been a people pleaser, never wanting to cause drama or a rift.  I feel like I have gotten better about this thanks to my husband but at times he can be a people pleaser.  What I need to do is to focus on who I really should be pleasing, God.  That is all that matters in the end.  I will always need to work on this, but at least I have a new direction.

Until next time......
