Ava finally got to take her first swimming lessons last week after all the cancellations last year over ear infections. She never was excited about going, but she always had a good time while she was there. On Friday, the parents were invited to come watch and encouraged to get in the pool and participate. Obviously, I got in with her and Daddy and Gigi got to watch. (thanks Gigi for taking pictures).
I couldn't believe how excited she was to keep putting her head in the water and kicking her little legs and swimming. She would be horizontal for about two feet before getting vertical and needing to be picked up. As soon as you got her she would take a breath and put her head right back in to swim again. She wouldn't take any breaks.
There she is swimming to her teacher, Haley.
Just having a little fun.
Here she is "jumping" off the diving board.
...the end result. She eventually kicked her way up to the surface.
She requested "mo mo" (translation: more more) diving board. I think that was her favorite part. She jumped about 20 times. She also got pretty upset when some of the older kids were trying to skip her in line for the diving board. She pointed to them and said "no no".
