Swimming Lessons!

Sami started taking swim lessons a few weeks ago. Due to her little head injury, she took last week off. On Monday she started back up again and we decided to try Ava out as well. I was a little nervous about Ava. She has some serious separation issues, bit she did really well. They are taking from a lady that all of my friends have raved about. And now I know why! She has worked wonders with both of the girls. She commented that Sami is a natural and Ava is doing awesome as well. Within three days Ava can swim short distances with a little guidance and is not afraid to dive under to retrieve the toys. After a week Sami can now swim across the pool. They both look as if they are on the verge of drowning, but they make it. I am amazed at how well they are both doing. I told Matt that this means we need to buy a house with a pool. His comment was, "Just another reason why we need to move to Texas!" Oh boy! We will see........

Hey can I get her number. I've got to get my kids in swimming. They are so afraid of the water!

That is so great that they get private lessons! I am so afraid of deep water that I don't want it to rub off on my kids.
