Swimming

WonderBoy has been practicing Judo

three times a week for nearly four years.

He decided it was time to give Judo a rest for a while

so that he could experience some other activities.

This Spring he chose swimming.

Although he's a real fish in the water, especially underwater;

he doesn't know any of the formal strokes and can be a bit haphazard

when he swims above the water.

We thought he'd really enjoy going to a local University for swim lessons
especially given the chilly Winter we've had.

Turns out the President of his Fan Club sits front and center;

cheering him on the entire time and she can kick it up a notch...

don't let her tiny size fool you.

Though he pretends not to hear her across the pool;
that sly little smile of his begins to curl up the ends of his mouth

the second he gets out of the water as he makes

a mad dash right over to her.

She can barely contain herself out of excitement as he approaches.
I hope these two will cheer one another on and

be each other's biggest supporters throughout their lives.

It sure does my heart good!

It's one of my favorite days of the week:

Black and White Wednesday.

Hop over to The Long Road to China and join in on the fun.
