A Nickell for Your Thoughts: Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons

Nate and Benny have been doing swim lessons for the last six weeks. They have made amazing strides in pool.....I am so excited. Last summer both boys would only swim with water wings and would barely leave the steps of the pool. We did not go to the pool as much as we need to to practice last summer. I was a little overwhelmed taking two boys that were not fond of water and a newborn to the pool. To top it off It always seems a little on the chilly side for swimming here...I prefer swimming in 90 degree weather not 65 degrees (not that I should be complaining). Anyways......we found this amazing teacher in Costa Mesa. She is awesome with the kids, we love Miss JOELLE!

Hi,

These are great pictures of your kids! We just moved to Orange County from San Francisco and we've been looking for Miss Joelle. A teacher in our community told us about here. Her website is down and I don't have her contact information. Might you be able to pass it along? I can't find her another way online. Thank you! abigailsreyes@gmail.com

Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.

Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.

Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.
