It is amazing to me how far Braxton has come with swimming. We started him in parent/child classes. When we began he could barley move his legs at all and had not desire to go under the water. But, we continued with parent/child classes for a bit. As of April 2010 he began private swimming classes. Braxton just has this love for swimming, both of his swim teachers would agree. He thinks its hilarious to splash you, as you can see from the smile on his face in the first picture of the collage. He has learned to finally blow bubble and go under the water. From time to time he does still go under w/ his mouth open, but his teacher is working on this. He gets so excited that he forgets to close his mouth. In the next picture you can see he can now pull himself out of the water by himself with very little assistance. The next top picture, you can see he is now getting more comfortable with walking in the water. Something that is new to him. I think he enjoys walking in the water so much because this is something he can't do on land. The last picture on the bottom is of him back floating. Which currently is his Favorite thing to do. His Great - Grandpa Martin was a very good swimmer and love the back stroke as well.
I defiantly think we see lots of swimming in our future with Braxton.
