when Matt would enjoy being in the water. As a 6 month-old baby, he LITERALLY insisted on sitting with his back to the lake while we were at a cabin. His first couple of summers of swimming lessons were torture on all of us. He screamed, his teachers would squirm, and I wanted to slip away unnoticed. We wanted to push him out of his comfort zone, but he certainly didn't make it easy on anyone.
Times have finally changed! Matt is loving swimming lessons this summer and doing so well. His form is improving, we haven't had one day with any tears, he gladly jumps in the water (as opposed to crying on the edge and eventually belly-flopping in), he voluntarily swims around underwater...an altogether different kid!

Great swimming, Matt!
Look at him go! What a pro!
Just another example of how good parenting pays off in the long run!
