Well, he took lessons one summer when he was 1yr, but<br \/>\n    not since. Today we went to the Aquatic Center for swimming<br \/>\n    lessons. He was super excited all day, but threw a fit when it<br \/>\n    came time to leave. I threw him in the car kicking and<br \/>\n    screaming and he settled down a few mintues later. In the<br \/>\n    parking lot he told me he was feeling a bit sick. I asked if he<br \/>\n    was nervous and he said &#8220;I just don&#8217;t know what will happen.&#8221;<br \/>\n    Wise beyond his years. I told him we were just going to see<br \/>\n    what&#8217;s going on and he didn&#8217;t have to swim if he didn&#8217;t want<br \/>\n    to. Of course he had a blast! His class had five kids and two<br \/>\n    teachers. I&#8217;m not sure I love how it was handled, but we&#8217;ll be<br \/>\n    back next week to try it again. There were three kids his age<br \/>\n    (him and two girls) and two older boys. They were divided by<br \/>\n    size (age) but the younger girls were much more attentive and<br \/>\n    Lex seemed more interested in the boys. The Aquatic Center is<br \/>\n    new and they are definitely still trying to figure things out.<br \/>\n    While Lex had his lesson, Eve played in the splash pool and<br \/>\n    loved every minute of it. On Thursday we&#8217;ll be back for Eve&#8217;s<br \/>\n    lesson. That should be interesting because I have to be in the<br \/>\n    water with her, so hopefully he&#8217;ll sit still and wait for us.<br \/>\n    Otherwise I&#8217;ll be paying $5\/class to put him in the childcare<br \/>\n    room and hoping he likes it there :)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\n    text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/\" target=\"ext\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif\" alt=\"Posted by Picasa\" style=\"border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent\n    none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial;\n    -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial;\n    -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lex had his first swimming lesson today.
