Michael has been taking swimming lessons for a couple of months now. He is doing great! He loves his teacher and the water. He looks forward to going every week and showing off what he has learned whenever he is in the water (even the bathtub). He has recently passed his first level of swimming! To do that he has to be able to float on his back for 10 seconds, use his hands to shimmy on the side of the wall over to the step, go under water holding his breath, and blow bubbles. He did it! I was SO proud of him that I teared up like a baby. To celebrate, first they let him go ring a bell in the swimming area and the manager comes in and says "Can I have every ones attention, Michael has just passed level 1 swimming lets give him a HIP HIP" and then everyone in the room yells "Hooray!" and cheers for him. He wasn't sure what exactly was going on but he loved ringing the bell and the guy had a hard time getting him to let go and get back in the water. haha The second part, is after I get him dressed we go to the front and they play the Olympic song while he stands on a podium and is presented with a ribbon while everyone cheers. It was great! He was totally confused as to what was going on but I was still beyond proud of my little man. :-)
