We decided to let Emily take her first swimming lessons while she was hanging out with Mimi and Papa Stan and the rest of us were on the mission trip! She L.O.V.E.D. them (no surprise there)!! She was in a "Mother Tot" class where someone has to be in the water with the kid. Most of the kids in her class were about her age. Mimi got in the water with her for the first two days. After I got to Toccoa on Wednesday I got in the water with her each afternoon. It was so much fun to see all that she was learning. We took lots of pictures and video for her Daddy to see. He was really proud of her!
She learned how to blow bubbles, put her face in the water, jump, stay on the side when asked to, "walk the wall" to get to the ladder, float, and many more things that I can't think of right now. I think it was good for her and she definitely had fun!!
Papa Stan stopped by the pool one day to hold Hannah and see Emily in action.
They had Emily "reeeeaching" to get these "treasures." Oh she got them alright and didn't want to do anything else except play with her treasures.:)
After swimming lessons were over you were supposed to get out of the pool, but they were pretty laid back and let me stay in a little longer so that Hannah could have some pool time too. She enjoyed it for sure!
Sweet summertime!!
