Swim Lessons

Allary is taking swim lessons. (She is on the far right in the photos) She did two sessions last summer in Level 1 and did awesome. Her teacher told me last summer that she was the only one in the class to pass off all the skills required for the class. She said I could technically move her up to the next level, but she pointed out that Allary is still very young and very small and may have a hard time in the deeper end of the pool where Level 2 is held. I thought about it and talked to one of the teachers and decided to see how she does in Level 2. I'm so glad I did. She just amazes me. She loves the water so much and she just has a natural ability when it comes to swimming. (She definitely did not get this from me. I'm not sure they would let me out of Level 1.) She looks so small next to the other kids in her class, but she is doing just great. Her biggest obstacle has been shyness, and she tells me after class, "I talked to my teacher Mom, and he talked to me, so can I have a treat?" :)
I am so proud of her.
