Swimming lessons

June 28, 2010
Today marked Pearl's first day of swimming lessons. Seeing as how neither Jeff or I are great swimmers, we felt it important that Pearl learn some basics. Well, to be truthful I'm just hoping by the end of the two weeks she will actually stick her face under the water to blow bubbles and float on her back without freaking out. With her new swimming suit and pink goggles she was ready to hit the pool! In fact, she didn't want to get out when her lessons were up. I wasn't sure how to explain to her that she couldn't stay there all day, especially when it's at her friend's house and her mom is her teacher. Luckily Cole provided a good excuse to dash out of there since he wasn't very happy. And I'm happy to report that my years of swimming lessons must have paid off because I'm pretty sure I could do all the moves Pearl learned today. Unfortunately for Pearl, we've got a lot of practicing to do in the bathtub over the next two weeks if she's going to be swimming laps like Jeff is hoping for.
