Swimming Lessons

Every summer we take swim lessons from a retired teaching couple. They are awesome. This year Ben got to be in the Parent and baby class. On the first day of class, the teacher was coaching the nervous parents on how to dunk their kids under. As she was saying, the kid can sense your fear, be positive and confident,  Ben was screaming "UNDERWATER" over and over. She said okay, "We will use Ben as an example." She dunked him under and he came up took a breath and yelled "AGAIN"!! When we were on our own,  I put him on the side to pull him into the water from a seated position. He stood up and yelled "CANNONBALL" and jumped in. The teacher sighed and said "That's a Sullivan!"
