Flying solo...

Reese has officially graduated from the "mommy & me" swim classes and is now in a class of 3. It all started out just fine. His friend, from our previous swim class, Charlotte (in the middle) took him by the hand and led him into the pool area. It was so sweet and Reese was excited. I managed to get these pictures before the fear set in. Once he noticed I had left to go to the viewing area behind the glass, he got a little scared. So back in Drew and I went to do a little (okay, a lot) of reassuring. He managed to get through the class with Miss Lori helping him one-on-one. They were so good to him and made him feel much better. On the way home in the car when I asked him about swim lessons, all he said was "cried". He was fine by then eating his sucker reward they give out at the front desk. Hopefully next week will be a little bit better - I'll keep you posted...

The last picture is one of 20 attempts of me trying to get a good picture of Drew smiling. He really does smile quite often, I just can't seem to capture it on film.
