Swimming Lessons


The first week is over and she has improved dramatically, she hated putting her face in the water and now she goes under to grab rings and swim through a hoop (all of course assisted by her teacher, but still a great accomplishment)! She pretty much did awesome while swimming but when sitting on the step waiting for her turn (3 kids in the class) she would cry "mom I need to hold you" the whole entire lesson! Today her daddy came to see what I was dealing with and see if he could help and she only cried between her first 3 turns and was a happy camper the rest of the lesson, let's just hope come Monday when I take her by myself again that she is that cooperative!! We have 2 more weeks of lessons and then I'm really considering doing another session just for more practice! Here are some pictures from her FIRST day

waiting for her very first turn

"Big Arms"

"kick kick kick"

she did this between turns on the step...

*PS I'm so excited to be going on a date with my hubby tonight, we deserve some "dating time"
Have a great weekend!

How cute - she seems to be doing really well now! I just signed the boys up for private lessons today, the group thing didn't work out so well last year. Have fun tonight!

It was nice to hear from you. The weather is so nice. The people are amazing. I absolutely love it. I miss the people here though. I can't believe in 6 weeks your baby will be 1. Wow! Hope to see you soon!
