Swimming Lessons

Allie had swimming lessons a couple of weeks ago and I am just now getting the chance to download the pics and update you all. I do not know how some of you manage to get pics of your kids and post them on the same day- I am too slow I guess. So anyways back to the lessons. Allie has improved SOOOO much. She went to lessons at someones house this year with 3 other little girls. When we started she would hardly even go under the water and would not get in my mom's pool without her life jacket. Now she will swim without the jacket and jump off the side and swim underwater to you. She still will not open her eyes underwater to see where she is going but we have made a HUGE improvement and I am so proud of her. We have been swimming once since then and she was so excited to show off her swimming skills to everyone. We will be doing lessons with this instructor again next year for sure. Now if we could just teach Austin, but I think he will be easy. He already wants to practically jump in the water when we are at my moms and when he is in his little float thing he will put his face in the water and come up smiling. I am so glad we are over the fear with Allie she would even stress when we washed her hair so this is a big help. Anyways here are the pics of my little fish.

Ready to jump of the board

Swimming to the side underwater

I just love this one, right after she came up from under the water. (I also love it because I was able to play with the fancy lens on our new camera. I was actually at least 15-20 feet away from her. I love that I can get such close up ones even from a distance.
