Swimming Lessons!!

By -
The boys started swimming lessons and after a few tears and some hesitation the first night, they have done awesome and love going!!  Mr. Eric is their teacher and they have so much fun :o)

I am so proud of Tyson, he is kid who is afraid of the water...he'll play in it on the 2nd step but wouldn't dunk his whole head under water or jump in anymore to us.  So he was our kiddo who shed the tears, but after this sweat girl who was a lifeguard/swim instructor came over and grabbed him firmly, but gentle and sweetly, he relaxed and had a blast!!  He now dunks himself all the way in and will attempt to actually try and swim!

Lincoln is our little fish, he loves the water and will swim for hours if you let him.  The Sunday before lessons started he actually was attempting to swim by himself and did it!  We were all so excited for him and he thought he was just the coolest thing :o)

Here are some pictures...

First week...

Swimming Toddler Whisperer!  She was great with Tyson...

So happy!!




Going underwater!!

I made it!

Do.Not.Let.Go.Of.Me.

 
Lincoln's turn! He's such a little fish :o)

"Ring around the water, pocket full of water, splashes, splashes, we all go under!"

 
We did it!!
 

Their whole class sitting on the ledge---they are all so cute!
 

Kick-kick-kick!!!

 
 
When class was over, they would swim all the way until they could no longer keep their body in the water...The Majorek boys were always being told "Get out of the pool!" by the teachers :o)
 
Week 2...
A little nervous, but not as scared!!










Mr. Eric wanted him to do his back float (which he can!), but he always gets so nervous!!



"Ring around the water" time!


 
Last day!!
 


Last time playing "Ring Around the Water"


Jumping, splashing...can't stop moving picture of them!

 
The Majorek boys "getting out of the pool"...

I am so glad I got this picture, I CANNOT believe he is attempting to swim on his own! So proud of this boy!!


The sky is just beautiful tonight!!!
 
I can't wait until next summer, hopefully they will be swimming on their own by then!  We have so much going on during the last session so we have to wait until next summer, but we plan to continue working with them for the rest of this summer!

Our weekend craziness started a little early on Friday morning when someone got a little hair cut by another 5 year old in this house... The boys wanted to watch a show before swim lessons and when I called them down, I got no response so I ran up there and Tyson says, "Mom! I get a jelly bean because I let Lincoln cut my hair!!".  Um, no. I didn't get a picture of him, but this is his hair...a lot of his hair!  It was cut in so many chunks and some places right to the scalp, so he got his head shaved today...and, he's so darn cute!   The Majorek kids and Richardson kids finally got to hang out and so we took the kids to Chuck E Cheeses...not our ideal place to hang, but the kids had a great time!  This little dudes face was so darn cute on this ride :o) And best news of the weekend, this kids finally learned how to swim!!!!  We have no idea as to why all of a sudden he decided to do it, ...

Highs & Lows of Surgery

Recovering after his surgery Thank you all for praying for Tyson, he is recovering great after a very long surgery Tuesday. Usually it takes a few days to close their chests back up after surgery, but his swelling was not too bad so, Dr. Nigro was able to close it on Wednesday, which is fantastic! He was doing really well with his breathing on the ventilator while trying to ween him off, that they decided to remove that Wednesday morning. After they removed it unfortnately, Tyson stopped breathing 5 different times within about 30-45 minutes after the ventilator was removed. The Nurses, Doctors and Respitory Therapists were still with him and were able to make him breathe again on his own after messing with and having to "bag" him. They believe that he still had the sedative medication in his blood stream and was not as awake enough. They gave him medication to reverse the effects of the sedative so that he would wake up which worked and he became stable. A few hours later ...
