The First Week of Swimming

Ever since I mentioned swimming lessons months ago LittleL.G. has been adamant that she DOES NOT want to do them and that she will probably cry the whole time. I was a little apprehensive about how the first week would go. At least I know she likes the kiddie pool where she can play while MiniM.E. does her lesson first. 

The water was still cold and the weather wasn't exactly warm at the beginning of the week so the girls wore their wet suits.

As it turns out LittleL.G. LOVES her swimming lessons and was fortunate enough not to have to change instructors during the leveling days (which I think threw MiniM.E. for a loop her first year of lessons).

It was tricky to figure out what to do with BabySlimJim when we moved from the kiddie pool during MiniM.E.'s lesson to the grass next to LittleL.G.'s lesson, but thanks to Gram, a bucket and some toys seems to be the answer!

Of course MiniM.E. is thrilled to be swimming and jumped off the diving boards the first chance she got.

It took LittleL.G. a couple days to get up the courage to jump.
