Swimming Lessons

This year we were graciously asked by a fellow mom from school whether the kids wanted to do lessons at her house. I was grateful for the chance since I missed sign-ups with Miss Rita. The week was stressful, hot, and seemed longer than it actually was. The star turned out to be Loryn this time. Logyn developed a MASSIVE fear of drowning for some reason and panicked every time someone went over to the deep end of the pool. Mallory pulled her weight and did what she was told even if she didn't like it. And Maddy decided that her new special talent was swimming.

Mallory cried even though she accomplished everything Mrs. Helms asked her to do. She was cute to watch. After it was done she would say, "That wasn't so bad".
Loryn waited patiently for her turn. By the third morning she was asking why she always had to go first. I thought she meant in her group but she really wanted to know why her and Mallory were the first group to go. They were always cold!
Maddy took her swimming very seriously.

Logyn actually taking off and swimming! I knew he could do it. He just needed to stop panicking.
