Swim Classes!!





Miss E took her very first swim classes this summer. She absolutely LOVES the water, but has a fear of actually going under the water. She would stay in the pool all day long if we let her.....but she probably would do so without getting her face wet!

She did great at swim class! They worked with her on her fear, and she did so good! I was such a proud mama! She's not "swimming like a fish" as she thought she would be at the end of the class, but this is a great start. She had two teachers. She would jump in to one of them from the side of the pool, but absolutely would not to the other. So it varied day to day how well she did, depending on which teacher worked with her more. She even went down the HUGE slide, sitting on the lap of one of the lifeguards! :) Her good friend Bailey was in the class with her, which really helped. They were just darling together....running to sit by each other, always wanting to be in the same group, etc.

The class was every night for 2 weeks. Harper stayed home with Daddy during the classes. They both enjoyed their time together! We had planned to do a "Parent and Baby" class this year with Harper, but decided to wait until next year. She's definitely a water baby (standing at the bathroom door doing the sign for "bath" is a regular occurrence for us), so I have a feeling she will love the class!!
