Swimming Lesson # 2

Ezra went for his 2nd swimming lesson on Tuesday. Abel's kicking board was a little too soft for him so we decided to get him his very own!! It was interesting how he try to play with the board and try different ways of using it!! He was trying to get onto the board and test if it can still float.
He also realised that it seems difficult to get the board off the waters and it made a pretty loud noise when he tried to tear it away!! He was just having some fun with the board at the side of the pool.Today Uncle Albert wanted him to lay on his back, see the sky and do leg kicking up down up down!! Ezra was a little afraid and cried for a while when he was turned around!! On the 2nd trip, he still shows some fear but his legs automatically started kicking and he kept his legs pretty straight!! Well done baby!!

When Uncle Albert wants to dip into the water with him, he immediately retreated and said "No don't want!!" Albert was very kind and did not forced him which I was glad. On our ride home, I explained to him that in swimming he definitely needs to get wet and had to dip his head in water. He will only need to put head in for a while!! Let's see if he can do dips next lesson.

I prepared some hot Milo in a flask and got Ezra to drink once he gets out of the water so he can keep his body warm!! He enjoyed his Milo and even offered Uncle Albert some!!

That evening, Jac was saying that Ezra told him that his legs are painful and tired! hahaha

Again well done son & we are so proud of you and clap clap clap for all your efforts in swimming!!

It was a good night of chatting and feasting!! Blessed Birthday Mother!! May God grant the desires of your heart!! Keep smiling keep chatting and be forever young mother!!

1st Swimming Lesson

Jac blogged abt Ezra being more confident in the waters and nowadays when we asked if he wants to go for swimming lessons, he would readily says "YES, I am ready" With that I called Uncle Albert who is the swim coach for many of my sis kids and we decided to let Ezra try out his class on Tuesday.

I was prep talking to Ezra about what to expect (although i don't really know much) and how to respond when water gets into his eyes, ears, face etc. We arrived at the pool about 5.10pm thinking that he can dip dip in the pool and get use to it. But Ezra refused the adult pool and only wanted to stay in the waddling pool.

At 5.25, Albert came, introduced him to Ezra and class started at 5.30pm. Ezra listen and obediently sat at the pool's edge took instructions from Albert. 3 very important moves, "Bend, open, close" Ezra had to do.

After a while, its time to hit the waters!! Ezra cling on to Albert as he showed him how to move in the waters
After that, Ezra went on to using the kicking board and swam across pool!! The highlight came when Ezra had to dip head into the waters! Uncle Albert held on to him and dipped head in together!! Ezra did very well, did not cry but immediately took off his goggles and wiped off the water on his face!! Ezra had 2 dips and when Albert asked him to dip the 3rd time, he said "No, I don't want!!" Well it was a very good start to swimming and I am not expecting to be a swimmer but for him to enjoy and pick up an interest and life skill!! My boy, mummy and daddy are so proud of you!
