Swimming 2012

It's been a few years since Tyler took formal swim lessons. Mommy and Daddy thought it best he start up again. Luckily, our friend Abby had some time to help Tyler and Connor with their swimming this summer. Tyler could already float and he used to do this thing where he would spin in the water like a sea otter. He just didn't swim. Anyway, Abby took care of that. By the time summer was up, Tyler was free styling and doing the back stroke. Another great thing about having Abby give swim lessons was that she would always impart words of wisdom at the end of each lesson that we call "Abbyisms". "Abbyisms" included, "Don't talk back to your parents" or "Don't fight because it doesn't solve anything". The one she imparted the most, however, was "Be nice to Jordyn!". Being an older sister herself, she was probably looking out for a fellow older sister.
