First ever swimming lessons

Kimberly started swimming lessons this week. She is the cutie in the pink swimming suit with the braids in her hair. This was a pretty brave thing for Kimmy... she is not a water fan. By age 2, she finally realized that baths were fun and she could play around in the water. Up until then though, she would cry during baths and would only stand. It was just in the past year that she started liking showers. The first thing her teacher asked her to do was to dunk her whole body in the water. Kimmy did and then she wasn't too fond of doing that again. But if she told Hailey no on something, Hailey would talk to her nicely and convince her to do what she asked. By the end, Kimmy wasn't telling her no anymore and she loved swimming lessons. The only thing she wasn't fond of was how cold the water was. haha.

Kimberly listening to her swim teacher Hailey.
Matthew watching his sissy swim and enjoying it.
Tell me she doesn't look terrified.
Starting to trust her teach when she says she can float.
Splashing the teacher in the face.
Learning how to kick her legs.
Realizing swim class is pretty fun.
Look at Kimmy's eyes... she is listening to her teacher pretty closely.

Okay now Matthew is not watching Kimmy and is not waiting so patiently. He is bored.
This was near the end of the class and Kimmy was getting braver.

We were so proud of her for even trying and when we headed to the truck, she was telling us how excited she was for the next day and swimming lessons. We are glad she is learning and maybe next year we can throw Matthew in the pool for some lessons. He is a lot braver than Kimberly.
Blessings to all until next post. :-)
