FINALLY!!!

Brady and Coleman have been taking swimming lessons for 3 weeks and the results are amazing! We spent all of last summer with them screaming and crying every time they got near the deep end, even if someone was holding on to them. Brady started it all during swimming lessons at the neighbors pool. He got so freaked out for some reason, and he would not go into the deep end at all, and he was so mean to the girl that was teaching. He would tell her that he hated her and then jump out of the pool and run away. After a few rounds of this then Cole decided that he was afraid of the deep end too, he wasn't as bad as Brady, but it was still pretty bad. I was starting to think that they would never swim when I found this AMAZING woman who teaches little kids as young as 6 mos old to swim and be safe. I have started calling her the Brady Whisperer. She has both of them swimming the length of the pool, jumping off the diving board, and swimming like a little fish. It is unbelievable! We had two episodes of Brady trying to take the chair he was holding onto into the pool with him because he wouldn't let go of it, and then that was that. She has put some kind of spell over him! When you watch the video you may not be too impressed considering that they are kindergartners, but if you could see how much progress they have made in just three weeks you wouldn't believe it!
