Swimming

At the beginning of the summer Emma Catherine took swimming lessons. She was nervous about the water but the lessons really helped. At the place she took, she teach them to swim using a "bubble."
The bubble has 4 different pieces of foam attached and that is where she started. She is now down to 2 pieces of foam. The reason we have liked the bubble is because it forces her to do the work by swimming. Last year she wore floaties and she didn't have to do any work. Also, at the beginning of the summer she wouldn't put her face in the water. This is what she will do now.Recently, she has also started jumping into the pool and letting her daddy throw her into the pool.Bailey, on the other hand, hasn't been loving the pool. She does not like her lady bug float. She will sit on the first step of the pool but mainly she does a lot of walking around.

Wow, she's doing really good. We are the opposite. Max was terrified of the water until last year. Wesley already tries to jump out of the float or your arms where ever he happens to be and wants to stick his face in. It's funny how kids can be so different!
