Pool post!

The kid was finally taken to the pool this summer! I mean she's gone with friends and her grandmother but we haven't taken her yet and it's almost back to school time (thankfully). So the dh had the day off and he took her with the neighbor and her 2 boys. They had a great time and all are much better swimmers than last summer. The dh was a swim instructor for all of them last summer so I do brag of course. He liked being a swim instructor, too bad they didn't have a full time job doing that, he was really really good. The kids and parents always requested him, especially the special needs add/adhd ones. The other instructors were mostly high school kids and couldn't handle them well. My honey was very good with them and could work past their issues and fears. Then he'd go talk to the parents after every session and make sure they knew where their kids were doing well and where they needed more work. None of the other instructors did that. He was well loved. When he had to take a session off when I was in the hospital many of them took it off also because if he wasn't teaching they weren't going. Again, it was sad that they couldn't keep him on there, he was good at it and missed. Regardless, our kid got some swim time in finally, her favorite swim stroke is the butterfly. It was her father's too in high school on the swim team. Mainly because he was the only one that could do it. I suspect it may the same for her when the time comes. She did not get that talent from me, my limbs are not long enough to even consider that stroke. Hers though, they are all her daddy, just check out that last pic, my gawd she did not get those from my stumpy side of the family...
