Swim Lesson Update

Caroline has been working hard to keep William signed up for and delivered to swim lessons.  The lessons are every weekday for two week sessions during the summer.  She has been getting up at 5:00 AM on the sign-up days to ensure he gets on the list and then taking him to lessons every weekday afternoon.  William loves it and is making good solid progress.  When we came to Japan in March, he was reluctant to stick his face in the water and would claw on to you if he didn't have his life jacket on.  With the lessons, he has gotten much more comfortable in the water and is making real progress on floating, blowing bubbles, and some first steps in actual swimming.  We're also glad that he elects to wear the life jacket if he has a choice in the matter.  We'd like to think that is because he is safety conscious, but I've heard that it makes a bigger splash when he does a cannon ball...
