She's Come a Long Way, Baby!

Maudie's swimming lessons wrapped up this week. She's come a long way from the first lesson where she stood in the pool with her hands in her mouth crying for me. I think the problem was the structure of the lesson she wasn't ready for, not the actually swimming. Because a mere 5 lessons later she is swimming by herself (for a few feet) and diving under the water to pick up rings off the bottom.
She was pretty proud of herself when she earned a green wristband and moved to the intermediate class for next time. It was the same accreditation that the 3.5 year old in her class got that was swimming laps around her the first lesson. To top it off she made it thru the semester without pooping in the pool (however she did pee on the deck)! Yeah, Maudie!
