One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Bo Fish


Bo is in swim lessons. We do a mom and tots class together. The first lesson was traumatic for both of us. When I dunked Bo's head underwater, he came up crying, and choking. I did that the rest of the night. I seriously could not stop thinking about what a bad mom I was for doing that to him. Then I got some reassurance from my Pediatrician that it was fine and that was the way kids learn to close their mouths. We persevered and went again. The second time was the same but a little worse with crying during each activity. He got a little better at going under each time we went though. Yesterday we went, and he LOVED it. He was splashing, laughing, talking, and he closed his eyes and mouth every time he went under. There was an underwater photographer at the lessons, and he got a great shot of Bo swimming under the water! I am so happy we stuck with it, and kept him going. He is such a little turkey and we can't get enough of him. Here are some awesome pictures. Oh, and 4 month stats.
