Today we finished up week one of our two week swim lesson class. Luli is doing better every day and not freaking out at all. She was excited to go to class today and I didn't have to persuade her. But this may also have been due to the fact that we got an "Angelina Ballerina" DVD from the library today and I told her earlier she could watch it if she did well in swimming. A little bribery never hurt, right?
I kept an eye on her and she's doing better and better, definitely not ready to let go and swim laps anytime soon, but getting more comfy with the water.
Fiona on the other hand is my daredevil. Last week, at Aunt Joan and Uncle Tom's house she would have nothing to do with even putting her toes in the pool. This week she's jumping to me in the water without holding my hands. Seriously, she just jumps right to me. She's really not a stickler for waiting for "3" either, she can go on "1" "2" or "3." So be ready for her jump at any point! Frankly I'm not really sure if Fiona would have been comfortable in a class setting, things may have worked out for the best in the end (saving me some money, which isn't half bad).
Let's see if all progress is lost or retained on Monday!
