Today marked Laurel's first day of swim lessons. We are fortunate that the pool is part of our subdivision and just a quick 2 minute drive down the road. Thanks to the hot Texas weather, we plan on spending lots of time at the pool this summer
Laurel enjoyed her lesson and appeared fearless. This was a much different response than when I took her swimming last week. I could hardly convince her to leave the steps! Ah, the power of strangers. I remember doing things for teachers at school that I wouldn't do at home for my parents . . . now I know what it feels like. Sorry mom and dad!
Laurel learned how to monkey crawl and breathe in the water, just like a motorboat (according to her teacher). I'm thrilled that Laurel finally has the chance to formally take lessons.
