Swimming lessons

There is this great website called Doodledeals that has deals of the day for NYC kids.  A few months ago I purchased two daily deals for $40 for 4 semi-private swimming lessons from Physique Swimming.  I signed the kids up for the four Wednesdays in January, thinking that we could use something fun to do during the long, cold month.  The lessons take place in a private pool in the Upper East Side and the set-up is perfect for us.  Drew gets his lesson with an instructor and at most one other 3 year old, while in the same pool, Katie and I have our lesson with another instructor and no more than three toddlers and their caregivers.  I am so happy with the program! Drew loves his lessons and has done extremely well each time.  Katie loves her lessons too and spends the entire time singing the songs with the instructor or shouting out "I am swimming!"

Ready for the pool!

Drew's instructor is great.

Last week Poppy and Grandmom were visiting and Poppy took Katie for her swimming lesson. She loved it!  It worked out great for me because I could actually watch Drew's lesson where usually I am in the pool with Katie.  Plus it was nice to not have to put a bathing suit on!

So happy.

One of his favorite pool activities is now floating on his back.
