Elementary backstroke

Emmett had his second swimming lesson today and learned how to do elementary backstroke. The teacher taught him three positions - "chicken" (with arms and legs bent), "airplane" (arms out, legs straight and out), and "soldier" (arms at sides, legs together). It looked pretty good! Out on the deck, I caught a glimpse of Luke going through the positions, too. He still says he'll do swimming when he's 4, even when I tell him that's just two weeks away. We'll keep our fingers crossed!
