ISR

This is the second summer I have had the kids in ISR, Infant Swimming Resource Self-Rescue, which teaches babies/toddlers how to turn to their backs and float should they fall in a pool.  I know all my Arizona friends know how common toddler drownings are here.  The statistics scared me right into these swimming lessons.  It is nothing short of amazing to witness an 18 month old child learn to swim and then flip to their back when they need air until they can reach a safe spot in the pool.  The last lesson the kids are supposed to come fully clothed with shoes and socks on to pass their test since that is how they would likely fall in a pool.

Anyway, here are some pictures of the boys from last year that the instructor just sent to me.  We only got pictures of Steel this year because Hudson was sick on picture day. ;/
