At the 4th of July party this year, Matthew was excited watching his older cousins swimming. They were jumping off the diving board and putting their faces under the water while wearing goggles. Matthew got up on the diving board and with much hesitation, he jump and his head went under the water. Everyone clapped and Matthew was so proud of himself. Matthew has been wearing swimming wings on his arms, rather than the "nemo suit" this summer and can swim across the whole length of Auntie Chickie and Uncle John's pool. After Nana saw that Matthew was more confident in the water and his eagerness to learn how to swim, she took Matthew for two private swimming lessons. A woman that Nana knows, who lives in Hampden, teaches swimming lessons in her indoor pool. Matthew did a great job listening to the teacher and tried everthing that she asked him to. After his last lesson, the teacher stated, "Matthew, you can swim!"
Matthew has also been doing well in Tae Wando Do. He has received a red and a green stripe on his white belt related to his accomplishments!
