Little Swimmer!

I am SO proud of Charlotte's growth and her new swimming skills!!! She now happily gets into a pool, floats on her belly while kicking her legs and reaching and pulling her arms, swims underwater to fetch diving rings, jumps in from the pool deck and swims a length, and has learned the steps to climb out of the pool to the deck. The first week was full of screaming and tears. The second week was a little girl full of confidence and excitement about her ability to swim. I am so thrilled to build upon these skills!!!

Happily jumping to Miss "Mwally"

Kick, kick, kick

I am so proud of you, Sweet Girl!!!

Getting her swimming certificate.

Logan, Miss Mwally, Charlotte, and Charlie. These are currently Charlotte's most favorite people in the world.

With the exception of her father and her Sunday school teacher, Miss Lexi. :)

More Swimming Lessons

Charlotte continues to learn how to kick and hold her breath underwater. She also is learning how to float on her back, dive for rings, jump in from the side of the pool, and swim to the edge and pull herself up. It is so incredible to watch her progress and feel more and more confident and happy to be in the water. It was definately hard at first as she would scream and cry... each day seems to get easier.

Jumping in!!!

Holding her breath.

I am so proud at Charlotte's hard work and effort!!!

Swimming Lessons

I was very excited for Charlotte to start swimming lessons this week. She is one of 3, as Logan and Charlie attend as well. Miss Molly is AMAZINGLY patient and compassionate and safe. I am so grateful that Charlotte has the opportunity to work with "Miss Ma-wolly".
