Ian started his second round of swim lessons this morning. We thought he would have Chad, his swim instructor from last time, but he is not teaching in the mornings anymore since he is coaching. So, Ian has Trey. I was a bit nervous when Ian started the class because Trey told the group, "Swim 25 yards free"...and he wasn't IN the water with the kids. Plus, Ian was the smallest (that is unusual for him) in the class. I walked down to the other end of the pool and told Chad, "Ummm...why did you want him in that class? He is the smallest and he has to swim 25 yards and Trey isn't in the water!!!" So, a minute or two later...Chad went over and introduced himself to Trey, gave Ian a high-five and all was good! Thanks Chad! But, Ian just absolutely amazed me in the water. He kept up with the big kids and did it all! Yay Ian! Ian likes challenges, so we'll see how these lessons go. :) He liked his lesson, so that is good!
It was the second night of VBS and it just flew by. The kids were excited, the volunteers were happy to be there, so the environment was just awesome. For recreation, the kids played a type of shooting hoops game. You know Ian and his sports...he was soaking it all in! Just grinning from ear to ear. He tried new food as part of the Seder, which was a big step for Ian because last year he didn't try anything. In the Marketplace, he made his Mamma (lol) a beee-u-tee-full (I sound like Aunt Sandi!!!) bracelet and he did pottery projects. I think he did some woodworking tonight or maybe it was last night.
I'll post some photos of VBS. I have an awesome tribe! Go THOMAS!

I have no doubt Ian will end up being the best one out of his swim class before the lessons are over! He's a natural at whatever he decides to do! Make sure you post some pics of him in class.
