The Swimming Lesson Post

I am thinking it wouldn't be the begining of SUMMER (woot! woot!) without a post on swimming lessons... so I will oblige :)

This is Hannah's third year in swimming lessons... the first year we did a Mom-n-me class (which I have now decided I am kind of anti, but that is beside the point)... then we skipped a year due to Claire's arrival into the world... then Hannah was enrolled last year, which started out completely terrible, and ended with some big improvements. I feel that by the third or so lesson this year something has finally clicked! She is actually excited to go, she asks all day if we are able to go 'right now' and she has finally relaxed enough to learn. She has gone from the clingy-grasping-you-with-the-jaws-of-life-I-have-a-tummy-ache stage to swimming half the length of the pool, jumping in, and yesterday learning the basics of freestyle and diving! Go Hannah!
{I think this was her second lesson, a few weeks ago.}



I am actually looking forward (but only ever so slightly) to it heating up this week so she can show her moves in my Parent's pool!
