Rhiannon has been taking swimming lessons over the summer, and over her last week of summer break she had a lesson every week day. She has graduated up to the "eel" class. (Make that the ''Ray" class. Wow, up 2 levels in one summer..)
She can jump in and swim back to the side of the pool...
She is working on her "ice cream scoops"
And floating on her back
She also picks up rings from the bottom of the shallow end. She swims under water easily, but she's still working on keeping her head up while swimming. All of my kids love the pool. Michael is the only kid in his parent and me class that does not cry when he dunks under water, he gets to move up to no more Mommy or Daddy in the pool with him next week. Kaitlyn surprisingly loves the pool too. I was sure she would scream at the cool water, but she is happy going in up to her arm pits. She just splashes, laughs, and giggles at big sis in the water. My water babies.
It was very well organized, they were lead through the choosing, stuffing, "fluffing", dressing, and naming by an employee that sounded like she could have been a preschool teacher. She made it fun for them. (like it wouldn't have been fun... She made it more fun)
My wide eyed fist sucker. She does love those fingers.

So much to choose from....
