in july connor & mabel had swim lessons. they both did awesome!! mabel was really worried about lessons for many days before. she even cried herself to asleep the night before lessons, so sad because mama could not be in the water with her. then she cried the whole drive over to lessons. i was expecting a huge scene, but she surprised us all! she got right in the water and did whatever bec, her teacher, asked her to. after a little hesitation and a few tears on the second day, from then on, she was super excited and always willing to tell everyone about what she was learning and doing at her lessons.
both connor and mabel have turned into fish! they love being in the water and going swimming! connor is swimming pretty much on his own. he also learned to dive off the side of the pool in less than 5 minutes. then later that night, we went swimming to practice their new skills and he decided to dive off the diving board! he is fearless! that is until his ear started hurting... we went to the doctor's after a few days of it still bugging him. turns out he had swimmer's ear and an ear infection. poor guy. but, now he's as good as new! no ear complaints any more!
here's a few shots from their fun lessons.
