Blake's Swim Lesson

When you miss a gymnastics class at Tricks, you can make it up with a swim class if you like.  Blake was the only student who signed up for this class one July afternoon, and these two ladies got him to try more than Robbie, me, or Grandma January have been able to do in 6 summers combined.  My jaw wouldn't stop dropping, and I couldn't stop smiling and waving as he jumped into the pool without holding onto their arms, put his face completely in the water, and let go of the instructor to put his arms forward as she lifted him by his stomach, among a handful of other things I've never seen him try.  I signed him up for a session of swim lessons with the CSD in August after this class and he was not happy but battled through.
