Our 3-year old took a crash course on swimming recently and she really had fun.  She will probably continue the lessons but this post is not about her.  It’s about our neighbor’s son, Fuuta.  His mother, a good neighbor friend of ours, has been taking Fuuta to swimming lessons since he was less than a  year old.  He has made great strides in his swimming and his mom wanted me to document one of his lessons.  I had a blast and as you will see, Fuuta is the most adorable little boy around.  Mia is glad to be good buds with him.  And now, I introduce to you swimming boy wonder….FUUUUUUUUUUTA!!!!

See how advanced Fuuta is!  Everybody else is twice his age.

Fuuta knows how to have a good laugh between laps.

How was my timing on that last one?

Here I was experimenting with the Lensbaby Composer.  Using it is harder than I thought but lots of fun!  Dad just loves Fuuta.  Very proud of his boy.

  1. I love, love, love these pictures, Riz! You did such a fantastic job of capturing the amazing Fuuta. I can’t decide if my favorite is the one with Fuuta and his dad, or the one of him in the shower. Very well done.
