Swimming 101

This morning was the boys' first swim class for Swimmer 2. They were very excited and great listeners. Aaron's working so they were solo in the change room which always causes me a bit of stress but hey, that's life so why sweat it. It's not creepy old men I'm worried about - it's more like the kids whipping their towels at each other and accidently taking out an innocent bystander.
Moving on.
So, the first class was a success. Alex keeps reminding me that to swim properly you kick your feet like you're stomping jelly and wave your arms like you're smoothing on the peanut butter. It's his mantra. All day. Stomp the jelly. Smooth the peanut butter. Stomp the jelly. Smooth the peanut butter. Over and over and at very random moments i.e.when we were at the drive-thru window picking up some Happy Meals. The order person could hear him somewhat and said "I'm sorry we don't have peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches here."
Ba dum bum.
