I'm not used to anyone other than Harlan getting report cards! Asher had his last swimming lesson today and boy oh boy did he come far. Last Monday he cried for almost 30 minutes straight and wouldn't let go of me in the water. Today he jumped off the wall into the water, stuck his face in to blow bubbles, paddled around with his hands while madly kicking his feet (in pursuit of rubber duckies) and let Sami the teacher swim around with him. But while he came so far, it was not enough to graduate from a Sea Lion to a Seahorse. In order to do that, Asher would have to be willing to get in the water without Ben or I in the pool with him, and super perceptive Sami knew that despite enormous progress, there is no way Asher would be game for that.
So a Sea Lion he remains (a damn cute one at that) and we will continue to warm him up to water on beaches and at lakes for the rest of the summer :)
