How to Beat the Heat? Y.M.C.A.

One of my fondest memories from my childhood is time spent at the Y.M.C.A.
Whether it was swimming, basketball or gymnastics (actually, I don't think I liked that much) I remember always having so much fun there and enjoying all the programs they had to offer.  Well, needless to say, we are members of the Y.M.C.A. here and have been exposing Will to basically every possible activity.

Lately, we have been setting record temperatures here in Houston - and I am actually happy it is finally warm because we have started another round of swim lessons.  I think Will and I have participated in 5 or 6 "mommy and me" swim programs over the last three years....but this time things were going to be different....this time, Will was going to go in by himself *gasp*!

At first Will was quite skeptical of the whole situation...
But he soon became comfortable with his swim instructor and before I knew it, he had forgotten all about me!  He was too busy impressing her by working on his floating....
 His paddling and kicking....
And putting his entire face in the water haha!
He was completely purple from head to toe - a little toddler popsicle by the end.
But I have to say, I'm so proud of how he did today!

Only six more sessions left!
