Swimming Lessons

Allary had swimming lessons this month. She did great and she had so much fun. She went every day for a half hour for two weeks. It took her a few days to warm up to her teacher, who was great, and just when Allary was comfortable with the teacher and doing really wonderful, they switched teachers! I was pretty mad because then the new teacher just thought Allary was fearful of the water when she wouldn't do what he asked, but really, she was just fearful of him. She still had a great time though, and for the most part, mastered the skills being taught. I've never seen a kid who loves the water like she does. I'm thinking about signing her up for another session after we return from our family reunion next week. I think it is great for her to be in a class setting with other kids and a teacher and she of course, just likes the fact that she gets to be in the water.

I took these photos on the first day of classes. Look at how excited she is!



She doesn't look nearly as excited in this shot, but I thought she looked so cute lounging on the poolside chair waiting for her class to start.
