swimming

We headed to the pool today for the first time this summer!!!  It was sooooo fun.  It's going to be a great summer.  C could swim last summer.  Like full on swim in deep water wo any swimmies or anything. She is kinda amazing.  She has been wearing swimmies and swimming in deep water for her since she was 18 months.  She was actually a better swimmer than Av.  She could underwater swim and was learning doggie paddling.  Over the winter though she lost her confidence and the few times we did swim she was SCARED.  Today it took her a while to leave the steps of the pool and when she did she was attached to me with a death grip.  I pulled her around for awhile and then I finally convinced her to swim to the steps if I gave her a big push.  I was very close to the steps.  She swam back and forth between me and the steps a bunch of times.  Really when she took a big push off of the steps and she was at my hands.  She did that over and over until all the sudden she just swam away.  Just swam past me.  It was pretty cute.  She said over and over, "now I'm your little swimmer."  hehehhe she's pretty cute.   She's swimming with her new friend Walker in this picture.  After that they jumped in together at least 50 times.  Summer time as a kid is the life!!!

E loved it!!!  He never really got in.  Came down the steps to about his chest a few times but never stayed there.  It was cold so not sure if that was it.  He loved playing on the steps though and splashing.  He LOVED wearing swimmies like his big sister!!!
