Declan will take 8 lessons with teacher Marjean and be water safe so he can enjoy swimming this summer with Aidan. Their new baby brother will be coming soon, so to help Mama and Papa while sitting at the pool, it will be nice to have both boys water safe.

The first three days Declan cried when he went to lessons. A little less each day until on Thursday, when Papa took him to lessons, he didn't cry at all.

Funny story that happened the day Papa took him to lessons. Declan was sitting on the steps waiting his turn with the other kids, one of whom was a girl. Teacher Marjean said to the little girl that her hair looked pretty today. Declan gave her a little tap on the head and said "she's pretty every day."

Watch out young ladies born between 2003 and 2006 Declan is beginning to work his mojo!
