<p style="text-align: left;">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&#8217;s about our neighbor&#8217;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&#8230;.FUUUUUUUUUUTA!!!!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-238" title="011_fuuta_japan" src="http://rizcrescini.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/011_fuuta_japan.jpg" alt="011_fuuta_japan" width="900" height="600" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See how advanced Fuuta is!  Everybody else is twice his age.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">

<p style="text-align: center;">Future Japanese Olympian?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Fuuta knows how to have a good laugh between laps.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">How was my timing on that last one?</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Here I was experimenting with the <a href="http://www.lensbaby.com/lenses-composer.php" target="_blank">Lensbaby Composer</a>.  Using it is harder than I thought but lots of fun!  Dad just loves Fuuta.  Very proud of his boy.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">The textures are courtesy of Totally Rad Actions&#8217; Dirty Pictures plug-in.  If you haven&#8217;t bought it yet, I give my highest recommendation to the <a href="http://www.gettotallyrad.com/" target="_blank">TRA Actions set</a>.</p>
