o-fish-al pollywog
Posted by kyden on Sunday Aug 29, 2010 Under Uncategorized
i knew that today was going to be my last swim lesson (for this summer session, anyway) and i wanted to make the most of it. daddy thought that i didn’t want to swim because i kept climbing out of the pool, but i was just practicing. i swam to the wall, climbed out of the pool (which i was not able to do by myself at the beginning of summer), and then “dived” back in. and then i did it again. and again. and again. i think i did that about seven times. i’m not really sure though because i can’t count that high.
but somehow, i managed to spend enough time in the water to demonstrate my excellent swimming skills and graduate from swim school! i am an o-fish-al pollywog! (it says so on my graduation ribbon 
)
my o-fish-al swim movie is below, but if you are interested in seeing my practice footage, you can see that here.

You are such a good fishy! You are so active in the water, I can’t believe you are such a good swimmer! Now, why is it that there is only one mommy in the pool and its yours? WHATS UP WITH THAT!?
Now you will just have to practice kicking in the bathtub until swim lessions next summer! 
Or, maybe if you come next month, we can go swimming here!

Congrats dude. Good job graduating! When we’re in Hawaii, you’ll have to show me everything you learned. Then I’ll be an over-achiever when I start swim lessons in a couple of months.

@auntie barb: i think swimming is supposed to be a daddy activity. mama thinks that all the other mommies don’t feel like they are bikini-ready after having had their babies. but mama doesn’t care — she is like a dude, anyway. i can’t wait to go swimming with you in san diego! i just have to convince daddy that we can manage the flight back by ourselves.
@auntie viki: i can’t wait to go swimming in atlanta, too. i hear that it’s HOT there — perfect pool weather
@logan: thanks! we are going to have so much fun riding the waves in hawaii. you are going to be ready for the advanced class when you start swimming! where are you taking your lessons? maybe i can convince mama and daddy to take me there, too.

I am so impressed! You have no fear of the water at all. I’ll be taking swimming lessons from you at this rate!
