The weather has not been acting very summer like lately. Luckily they heat their pool to 90 degrees for the kids! Addie stays nice and warm as long as she is in the water, when she gets out it is shiverfest!
Addie keeps her teachers on their toes! When it isn't her turn, she is off into trouble. She likes to hand onto the side and go explore to the deep end, throw all the diving rings, and see how many kick boards she can put in the pool before someone notices. Honestly I don't know where she gets it!
It is definitely a good thing that Miss Becca and Miss Kara like her, because she gives them a run for their money. The other kids were a little more hesitant to jump off the board, not our Addie. They try to tell her to jump in front of them, but no. Every time she jump directly on top of them! She thinks that it is so funny, and they just laugh and say silly Addie!
Already one week in to a 2 week session, and the girls have earned their keep. Addie is comfortable going under water. She does her bobs now without screaming NO! Big improvement. The first several days when they would do bobs, she would say "No" and then start to scream "Nooo" as she would be dunked! When it was her turn to blow bubbles with her nose she would argue that it was time to kick. As we we wrapped up our lesson on Friday and she was bobbing up and down without and arguments, fearlessly jumping off the diving board and retrieving rings off the bottom. At this rate she will be swimming laps by the end of the summer.
