What a difference a week makes!

Matthew is swimming and Ryan is putting his face in water!!!  What a difference a week makes.  And a small, private class.  And a couple of GREAT teachers!!!
I can not get over how much better they both are doing.
Matthew is swimming very well with a kick board and a little without.  Once he learns to take off without the board he'll get it. I give it to the end of summer and he will have it down!
Ryan was very reluctant to get his face/head wet at the beginning of their lessons.  But last night I could see he finally realized it was OK and is trying it more.  That is all we ask.....TRY!  He also can use the kick board, but is still working on positioning his arms on it.  But he is putting his face in the water and coming back up for air.  This is BIG! 
If only their lessons were for another week.  This evening is the last lesson. 
Hopefully weekly trips to a pool will help them remember everything they have learned.  And learn more!  Ryan is much more comfortable in the water now and that was a goal accomplished! 
And both boys know some safety about being in and around a pool now!
So the two weeks of messing up my nightly routine were well worth it. 
It sure made me realize what a difference a week can make.
