Happy, Happy Swim Lesson

Whew! What a roller coaster! Today was just wonderful! Leia Rose swam to her instructor seven times using the doggie paddle! And when she really paddled quickly (like I suggested) she was able to keep her whole face out of the water (still Leia's ultimate goal). However, Leia also dunked under a bunch and jumped off the side! This was the first time that I've ever cried out of happiness in regards to swimming. There's just something about seeing your child reach that safety milestone that makes a Mamma so happy! Perhaps looking at the picture of Shenandoah jumping off the diving board (on the Worrel blog) helped to inspire her today? I think so!!!
