The Kermit Program

Roman finished his 2nd year of Kermits and it was such a wonderful experience. It took a few days to get him motivated to get in the pool, but by the end of week 1 he was loving it. They have 5 weeks of private swim lessons Monday thru Friday and then we did 3 extra weeks of Kermits Plus. By the end of the program he is officially water safe! He has always loved the water and to see him swimming all on his own is so much fun. The last week, he even made it a whole lap without stopping. 
One of the sweetest things was seeing how much he looked up to the older boys that were teaching the swimming. Luckily they matched him up with a lot of the boy instructors and he thought they were the coolest. You realize how important it is to find some nice older boys to have as positive role models for our little guys.

Nana and Pop came to cheer Roman on during his Mini Meet. 

Paisley was thrilled once the baby pool opened up. She was such a good sport to sit and watch each day.

Go Roman! 






Roman - The 3's

Roman just completed The 3's Program at Walnut Avenue Preschool. 
He was blessed with the 2 most wonderful teachers, Miss Paulina and Miss Helen. Both teachers were so sweet, kind and knew best how to motivate and encourage him to become more independent. This last year he has gained so much more confidence socially and seems really happy at school. He has started talking more about school at home and sharing a little info about his friends. He is always a good boy and never gets in trouble. I know that I found him the perfect preschool for his personality, which is so important. He is going to continue this summer 2 days a week and then will enter The 4's program in the Fall. Good Job Roman! We are so proud of you.
