If
there’s one thing that I really want to do when I was a kid is to enroll myself
in summer class because I want to have productive summer and I don’t want to
stay in the house waiting for the next school year. I want to enroll in
swimming class, art class, cooking class, baking class and other activities
that will enhance my skills but sad to say that we don’t have money in this
kind of activities. The only thing that I look forward every year is the DVBS (Daily Vacation Bible School)
which only lasts for a week.
Now
that I’m a parent, I make sure that my son will have a productive summer and I
want him to discover and develop his skills, talents and gifts. That’s why I always
enroll him in summer class since he was 2 years old and now he is taking
swimming lessons.
It
is not a secret here that my husband and son love to swim; it is their bonding
activity since Ethan was 4 months old. We’re lucky that he is not afraid of
water so we just continue to expose him in the water. But of course, we wanted
him to learn how to swim without floaters.
Sharing
to you the photos of his swimming lessons for two days.

I
don’t know how to post video here in the blog so for the very first time I
uploaded video in You Tube so you can see it. I even received an email stating “Congratulations
on your first YouTube upload!” hehehe! Video
on his second day of swimming of lesson. #proudmother

Hi! I think its great to that you decided to enroll you baby. next thing you know, he wouldn't need floaters anymore. I wish I could enroll my son too but there's no one to drive him to his swimming lessons.
ReplyDeletewow congrats to Ethan. It's a good thing that he has something to keep him busy over the summer and he will also learn a life saving skill! :)
ReplyDeleteindeed great activity for your kid! I am also looking forward to get my kids busy this summer. I am also one of those who believe that kids must have extra thing to do in summer to make them productive..
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, mommy mo pala si mommy joy. She's a friend blogger. actually she just posted a comment on my recent post..
yes, she's my mom. =)
DeleteSame here. I plan to enroll the little one to some activities, if finances permit. =)
ReplyDeleteAwww...swimming lessons! I've been looking for a swimming coach as I'd like to have my daughter attend private lessons na lang with her cousins. No one can drive for them kasi.
ReplyDeleteSarap ng summer talaga for kids :)
Gusto ko din yan for Y! Excited na tuloy ako na lumaki siya para join na din siya sa mga activities like that. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh ang galing! Sorry I'm very impressed kasi I don't even know how to swim myself! I promised myself though that my kids will know how to swim so they can save me. Lol.
ReplyDeletethanks sis! same here, I don't know how to swim so sila na lang mag-ama magsave sa kin. =)
DeleteGusto rin ni Meg sis. Naloka ako sa swimming nya last time, ako talaga ang takot as in, sya tuwang tuwa. Haha OA sa over talaga ko.
ReplyDeleteanung nangyari sis? tuwang-tuwa din si Ethan sa swimming, walang kapaguran. =)
DeleteThis is nice! I wanted to enroll my son also sa swimming lessons since 6 months old palang siya kaso malalayo samin ang location. How I wish I can enroll him this summer na talaga.
ReplyDeleteI told myself (and my readers) that I'll be enrolling my daughter to swimming lessons this summer but I failed. But I thought that we can still do it even if it's not summer, so long it's not raining. ;) The kids looked happy.
ReplyDeleteSwimming is an important life skill. It also exercises every part of the body. It is actually a fun exercise that most kids love doing.
