Swimming Lessons!

Elizabeth was very shy the first few days. She wouldn't speak to her teacher, blow bubbles in the water, look anyone in the eye, give her teacher a five or even kick. By the end, though, she was doing it all, except for the blowing bubbles in the water. We'll tackle that one next year.
Jonathan learned so much this year! He is now voluntarilly putting his entire head under water (he even thinks it's fun!), can swim all by himself, and jumps off from the side of the pool all by himself. And, he does it all with his cool new goggles on.
This was the second to last day of lessons. She's actually kicking (as opposed to earlier when the teacher would carry her around in the water and she would be paralyzed with fear and wouldn't even wiggle a toe).
So adorable!
