Mom & Tot Swim Classes

Rachel and I finished swim lessons this week, and to celebrate, Sam & I took her to Veteran's Pool this afternoon so she could play in their splash pool/park. She loved it. It took her a good 20 minutes to warm up to the small slide in the kiddie area, but after she tried it once, she couldn't get enough! We created a monster. We were worried because she really struggles during bath time with water in her face, but the water at the pool didn't seem to bother her (too much!) We are incredibly proud of her. She actually slipped and went all the way under once and didn't get too upset. We pulled her out really fast (of course) and it scared me, but she did okay. She loved jumping off the side of the pool into Sam's arms, and having him there in general. I took her down the grown-up slide again today (we went once yesterday during lessons) and she freaks out on the way down, but then laughs and gets all excited once we're through. I think she realizes it's a "big girl" thing to be doing.
