Today was our third swim lesson. Abby and Emily are both doing really well, although Emily still tends to have stage fright during class. She bravely does everything that she's asked to do, but there are tears throughout the entire experience. The other Moms laugh because every time she gets out of the pool, she blows me a trembly kiss and whispers that she loves me. They tell me to enjoy it while it lasts - sooner or later she'll become a teenager and stop speaking to me! Ms. Betsy is extremely patient and kind - even when Emily repeatedly asks how many minutes they have left in the lesson. Speaking of, I've got to have a talk with her about that before Thursday! Enjoy the pictures of our watery afternoon.
Floating - her favorite part
All lined up and ready to go!
Ms. Betsy had to keep telling her to let go of her finger. She had a death grip.
Second attempt
She loves her "rock star" bathing suit
The look on her face breaks my heart - or cracks me up, depending on my mood.
Swimming across the shallows with a little help
Abby dives in for some noodle swimming
Deep breath!
Practicing knee dives
I love the way Ms. Betsy uses the backs of their swimsuits as a handle
