Break-through Swim Lesson # 4

Corben screamed the entire way to swim lesson and didn't want to do anything but kick...we talked with the Jason and the owner (who gave input the entire lesson)...and we had a BREAK -THROUGH!!!
Corben is in front of Jason going under water to get to the ledge.
Once he grabbed the ledge he had to move along the side to the step!
He did this several times today and the crying was only intermittently.
Here he goes again...
this is the funny part....
once the other instructor (girl) started sitting on the step, Corben would get to the step then stand up and kiss her shoulder and when Jason asked him to come to him...Corben replied, "no, I kiss", then he would go immediately to Jason.
We have a BIG FLIRT on our hands!!!
Next Jason had Corben stand on a step and swim out to Jason (under water)!
He was under water during his entire class!
Under water again!
Giving Jason hi-five!!
Then he had to go under water and pick up the rings!
Going really far under water to get the rings!
After class Corben ran out of the pool to get his lollipop and said "thanks" to Jason!
He then wanted to call everyone and say "mouth under water, hair wet!"
He did so good today in his swim lesson!

Photography...

 I took a photography workshop from a local Photographer.
I learned how to really use our DSLR camera on the manual setting.
We took pictures of a little boy....
and then also took pictures of a family.
Check out the link to see pictures by the photographer, she is wonderful.
Here are my little models and I am constantly using my camera on manual now!!
Corben is 29 months
Mason Kate is 10 months
I love that they are in focus and the background is blurry!
Caleb and I are also looking for fun places to take pictures (like the brick wall above).

No texting while riding!
