Little Fish, Part Two

The kiddos are still involved in swimming lessons and attend up to four times a week.

Bop has been promoted to the WP Swim Club and is arduously working on mastering various strokes and diving with much success. Bop is quite graceful and agile in the water.

Log is becoming more stalwart, though he does not like to float on his back. Log will now jump in to the pool and swim the length with the aid of a noodle.

Littlest now 'swims' without a life jacket and instead embraces a noodle and kicks her little legs for all she's worth. She spends the entire lesson swimming from one end of the pool to the other; this makes for an excellent night's sleep.

Matty prefers to wear a life jacket, and he is now a bit fearless which is incredible since he had never been submerged in water two months ago. He loves to jump into the pool and doesn't seem to mind going underwater. Matty's indomitability has spawned a bit of sibling rivalry with Log, who now aims to outdo his brother.
