In non-climbing related news, Graesen learned a new swimming skill today. He can now jump in then swim up to the surface and a few feet forward to me. He still needs to figure out how to come up to breathe, because right now he can only go a little ways without me pulling him up for a breath. I considered putting him in swim lessons this summer, but the only one for his age are mommy and me classes. These classes are focused on getting babies/toddlers comfortable in the water, not on toddlers who can already swim a little on their own. Besides I used to be a swim instructor and am still a certified lifeguard (even though I haven't lifeguarded since before Graesen was born I have kept my training up to date). The funny thing is I haven't really tried very hard to teach Graesen anything, he just seems to naturally know what to do in the water. It must have been all those swim lessons I taught while I was pregnant with him :)
