Hunter our little swimmer w/ his "Mrs. Warren" (Lauren)

















I was a little nervous (yet excited, for a new chance for him to swim) last year Hunter was not interested in the pool, he did not like his lessons last year at all. Lauren gave us total comfort and a garantee that he would be swimming. SHE WAS AWESOME! Hunter only cried the first 2 days out of 2 weeks, by the 3rd day he was excited, confident, and worked so hard. Lauren loved & nurtured our little guy and he just loves her. He was excited to put on his little wetsuit and flippers(the kids looked so dang cute in them). Hunter told anyone that would listen what he did each day! He was just beaming with joy and excitement to share his accomplishments. He loved "Mrs.Warren" as he calls her. I would ask him how does he save himself if he falls in the water... he would tell me "Mrs. Warren said reach up high(and he would put his arm up high)and get that wall", he always said it with determination. It really was so adorable. Hunter now jumps in the water by himself and swims back to the wall. He even jumped off the diving board and went down the slide at the swimming lesson. Steve and I can't thank Lauren enough for teaching Hunter the skills of swimming, he trusted Lauren and Hunter is now having so much FUN! What a "water" filled summer we have ahead. Thanks Lauren, you were the best instructor in the world!!!!

Alicia,
I absolutely adore you. You are one of my favorite people, and I will always check your blog to keep tabs on you and your family.

I also have a crush on little Hunter. He is such a sweetheart with a big heart. What a joy to have worked with him in nursery and really get to know him. Enjoy that "Farm" of yours. I bet it is a pretty cool place to grow up.
love you so, Joy
