I finally made it to a swim practice of Robbie's tonight with the intention of solely watching him (and taking pictures, of course) without the distraction of 2 other little ones. I was so happy to be there and I enjoyed every moment of seeing how very much he has progressed in such a short time! I got some great action shots of him diving and swimming the back stroke ... which he is learning to do without his flippers. He swam almost the whole length of the pool on his own, with a little help from Coach Laurie, so he was super excited tonight and his mommy was quite proud. He's been working so incredibly hard these past few months and it's really beginning to show. He loves being a swimmer now and is looking forward to being like the "big kids" someday. Best of all, he was the only little kid there tonight so he received a ton of 1 on 1 attention from Coach. We missed all of his teammates though! Here are a few photos of my cute little swimmer superstar ... I'm having a hard time believing that he will soon be 5!
Warm-up time!
His Daddy, who is training for a triathlon, is trying to keep with his 4 1/2 yr old son in the pool :)
His best dive yet!
Walking back after his great dive ... he was SO happy :)
The wonderful HOT shower after practice is through ... he stays there for at least 5 mins :)
