Mason...not so much a fish out of water haha...

A few weeks ago Mason started taking swim lessons at the local YMCA.  While he LOVES them and talks about them constantly he is definitely scared during lessons, on multiple occasions.  Mason is the youngest in his class by 6 mos to 1 year so I am proud of every little step forward he takes!  At first he was scared to even sit on the edge of the pool, but now after lesson 4 he is swimming all the way from one side to the other (with a swim belt and a lil help from the teacher of course!)
The other kids were quite comfy with the water...while Mase held on for dear life hahaha...
Now here just 2 weeks later...look how happy he is!!!

And one more week later...swimming on his own across the pool!  Ms. Tammy (swim teacher) is showing him how to paddle like a puppy haha.
And preparing to jump into the water!
And doing his favorite thing...blowing bubbles in the water!
I didn't take the camera to this last lesson, but I should have!  Mason went off a diving board...ok well sort of haha.  One instructor held him and kinda dropped him off the board while the other waited in the water for him haha.  He was scared but still did it!  I am so proud of him!!!
