Brooks.... the FISHERMAN!

Brooks has so much going on right now.

SWIMMING............... He is in his 2nd month of swim class. His teacher actually moved him up to the next level! When we 1st started it was amazing that he put his face in the water... now he jumps off the side, can hold his head under for about 3 sec, and can swim a short distance by himself. He still doesn't have the confidence in himself to swim from point A to B without assistance... but we are getting there.

FISHING.......... This past weekend Jason took Brooks fishing for the 1st time. Mr. Roy and Mrs. Darleene invited the boys out to fish at their creek. Jason casted out the line out for him. After that, Brooks held the pole, waited for the bobber to go under, and he reeled in 5 catfish. Jason said after he caught the 1st one, he dropped the pole, ran about 10 ft, jumped in the air, and said "Yes, I got one!" He was SOOO proud of himself!! It was a big day for him.

T-BALL............ It started out rocky. Yesterday he had a game and he was a ROCKSTAR!!! The 1st 2 games he hit the ball and ran to 2nd base... skipped 1st.... went straight to 2nd!!! We are past that now. Yesterday he hit the ball hard, ran ALL the bases, and played really good in the field. Such a little baseball player!

Mutton Bustin'...... May 3rd Brooks is going to Mutton Bust at the HOT Western Festival. We were nervous that he was going to chicken out but he's sounding REALLY excited about it. I'll update after Sunday.
