Swimming Lessons






OK, so its more like toddler water survival, but you've got to start somewhere. Watching Reagan be scared and cry for me, knowing full well that I needed to let her learn was tough - and a bit of foreshadowing of things that are to come I suppose... But she did great! And by the last couple of days has been wanting to "swim" from Jess to the pool steps and back. She learned how to hold her breath, find and pull herself up on the step or side wall, and how to flip over on her back and float. And she even went off of the diving board (with extra "encouragement") many times.

We have done swimming lessons every year! Ana LOVES the water and it's fun! :) However, "water survival" totally explains it and made me laugh...OUT LOUD! Your little mermaid is precious!
