Swim Lessons Part 2

Again no pictures :(

But Reese has come SO FAR! Its amazing!! She went from being totally afraid of the water to putting her head under and swimming (very) short distances. She still needs to practice kicking her legs more but I know the more we do it the better she'll get. I see many many practice sessions at our neighborhood pool. I never thought I'd be so happy to say we have one to use. Reese is also practicing holding her breath. She isn't great at that part and will drink large amounts of water. Her tummy swells up so much she almost looks 9 months pregnant. It slightly freaks me out.

Saige's lessons were more or less a waste. She is still not ready. She didn't like any of the exercises the teacher had her do but I don't really mind. I was more concerned about Reese. Saige will let us put floaties and that funny looking suit of her and she has a ball! If she isn't wearing the suit/floaties she thinks she can swim and goes right under. We had to save her life twice yesterday. It was a little scary one time because I looked away for one second and the next my poor baby is under the water bobbing up and down. Luckily it was only a second and Saige is so strong willed that it didn't phase her at all. She didn't even cough because she is so good at holding her breath. LOL!

Swim lessons are over but we plan to practice practice practice! I'm so proud of Reese!
