Summer Swimming

Summer is swim season. Unfortunately before this summer our girls had an on and off relationship with swimming. Abbie liked the water but not putting her face in. Savannah barely tolerated it on the best of days. So like any good parents we decided to torture them with swimming lessons... And like all good torture, we got the results we wanted.(Actually, we far exceeded expectations on this one!)

I didn't get any pictures of Savannah but she will now float on her back (with help) and will stick her entire head in the water, as well as actually have fun at a pool which is considerable progress itself. They are both SO proud of themselves. Can I just tell you that as a parent it is so fun to see your children so proud of themselves for mastering a new skill. While we aren't going to continue the lessons all summer my goal is to take them swimming at least once a week so we can keep moving forward. Thankfully now they love it!
