Tristan's Swim Graduation

We signed Tristan up for swim class again at Leahi this spring and we were so glad that we did.  I don't think I really knew that he had it in him but he is a little fishy in that water.  It is like second nature to him.  He may have secret gills hidden somewhere on his body because he can stay under the water for a very long time!  Yesterday was his graduation and I've been debating signing him up again for summer but I think we decided we would just take a break and let him practice what he's learned this summer.  His instructor, Auntie Leena, said he is ready for the advanced beginner class, which I think they learn more swimming techniques.  We are excited to get this boy out in the ocean/pool more this summer!
 "Who wants to go first?", "ME!"

 His whole swim class.  They were all so cute!  They all started in January and since then have become good friends.
 This is what happened when we called his name for the picture.  Winking is his new thing.

 More jumps!

 I think he took the ceremony part very seriously.  He really thought that he "won".  

 The whole ride home, "Mom, I won, I won!"

Tristan with his instructor, Auntie Leena.  She was awesome!



What a difference two years makes!  Remember this?

Congratulations, champion!  You make us proud!
