Addie CAN Swim

After 4 weeks of swim lessons Addie is more confident than ever in the pool! She Love LOve Loves Miss Becca!
Addie mastered the back float, and even swims on her back. The hard part is just getting her to stop wiggling and splashing.
The hard part was getting her to swim with her face in the water. But, once we got her a pair of googles and let Becca work her magic. Addie sprouted gills and became a fish!
It is a good thing that Becca likes Addie. She had to recruit her brother, Preston to help keep Addie busy. Addie got too excited and was way too comfortable in the pool, so when it wasn't her turn she was always finding trouble. Throwing rings, kick boards, and exploring the other areas of the pool and even sometimes she would venture to the bottom of the pool! Good thing Becca and Preston have eyes in the back of their heads. Its almost like that had an alarm that would beep anytime Addie was underwater for more than a few seconds.

All of the their efforts paid off. Addie knows what she needs to do and if she isn't being silly she can actually swim. But I'm not quite ready to take my eyes off of her or be more than an arms length away from her. Just in case! I still can't believe how fast my girls are growing! The time is just flying by!
