Swim, Fishy, Swim!

What fun we've had this summer spending the first part of our Saturdays each week at swimming lessons! Kendall LOVES the water and her skills have grown by leaps and bounds! We are so proud of her. She has learned how to "bob" (put her head under water and blow bubbles out her nose), jump in the water and go under without anyone catching her, keep her head above water with no floaties (although she hasn't mastered this yet...can only go for short lengths), kick with her legs, and push with her arms. I think by next summer she'll be done with the arm floaties all together! Way to go, Kendall!

For the most part, Kendall is an independent kid, and swimming lessons have been the perfect outlet for her this summer after Arden's arrival. I searched and searched for a class that wasn't "mommy-and-me" style, as I knew Kendall needed somewhere to just do her thing without me. It was truly a joy to watch her each week. And even better...she was in a class with two of her best buds, Emma and Kaelyn!
