Swim Lessons - Update

Handley has done a complete 180 at swim lessons.  It only took the 8th or 9th day of her lessons for it to finally click, but she is finally having fun and showing so much improvement.  The first week and a half of her lessons she spent crying, whimpering, and saying she didn't want to do it.  

A few times I contemplated not continuing on with her lessons, but I'm so happy I did.  On Thursday and Friday she was mostly all smiles and was so excited and proud of herself for putting her face in the water, floating all by herself, and being able to do a few "scoops" to the steps and to the side of the pool.  Tomorrow is her last day, but I'm excited with the progress she has made and know that now she has the confidence we'll be able to continue working with her all summer. 

Below is a video of some of the things she is doing during her swim lessons. 

And she tries to give Harper "swim lessons" every chance she gets.  Harper is actually pretty good and mimicking what she tells her to do and if you listen close enough you can hear her saying "scoop, scoop" and blowing her bubbles.  HA!
