Little Swimmer

Swimming lessons went fabulously the last 2 weeks. Elliott went every afternoon for 45 minutes with a bunch of her playgroup pals. This picture is from the first day. The teacher told her to put her face in, that is how close she got. By the 3rd day she was going underwater willingly and now she is a full blown little fishy! I'm so glad I don't have to spend another entire summer with someone that refuses to get her face wet in the pool. Its exhausting. I took this video of her yesterday when we went down to the pool. It is really shallow so she is totally comfortable swimming on her own, notice how she uses her hand to pull herself across the bottom. Later I even talked her into going in the big pool.

This is Elliott when she was 11 months old. Maybe that is why she doesn't like water in her face....hmmmm.Here is Berkley yesterday in the same outfit. Here is Elliott at 14 months old for a comparison of the 2 girls. She seemed so much older than Berkley does now. I guess because she had been walking for 4 months at this point and climbed up in that chair all by herself!

I have a plan for some more comparison pics, I found of E at 14 months. As soon as I remember to put the getup on Berk I'll post them.
