Karstin taking swim lessons!

For the month of June Karstin has been taking swim lessons at the Payne Institute. He absolutly loves his instructor Zane! He has come a long way from his first lesson. Day one went something like this...

Zane: Okay Karstin lets put our head under the water. Now hold your breath"
Karstin: No.

Okay so I don't know exactly what was said and it probably wasn't that bad, but one thing about Karstin is that he is not afraid to tell you NO if he doesn't want to do it or doesn't feel comfortable doing it. It is one of the things I love about him as well as something that is frustrating!

Here is Karstin jumping in to Zane. Now on the first day he would not jump in unless Zane was holding on to both of his hands. Zane would tell him to jump and Karstin would wait patiently for Zane to grab his hands before he would jump in.


Look his head is in the water!


Now this is Karstin with Laura. He likes Laura, but when Zane can't make it he looks around for Zane and is a little sad that he isn't there!

What a cutie! I love the goggles.

Swim lessons are so important, especially in AZ. I'm glad you got him in there.

I am very impressed that he is doing so well. Hayden was screaming when we were teaching him to swim.
