Swim Lessons!

Kira has a Gummy who would do just about anything for her, including swim lessons. I have to work in the morning so my mom takes Kira to swimming every morning. It has been a journey. 

Session 1

Kira at first was not going to have anything to do with the water. She was attatched to her Gummy's Head (as that was one of the few places that wasn't in the water). I faithfully took her every morning for two weeks, so she could timidly look at the water and decide if today was the day she was going to like it.

By the end of the first session she was ok with the shallow end but still not thrilled about the deep. We could get her to lay on her tummy and kick.

Session 2

Kira was a whole new child by session 2. She would do all things she needed to do. Like kick and do monster arms, blow bubbles, and bunny hops. It is amazing to see how confident she is getting. She is always telling me "I do it" or "My turn".  

 

Private Lessons Session 3

Water Babies Poster Child!

Kira has gone passed all expectations! She now will voluntarily put her face in the water and dive down and get a toy in the water. She played dunking with her Tia. Each would take a turn and then Kira would take a few more. She can lay on her back and kick her legs, do her monster arms and will bunny hop in the deep water.

 I am so proud of you, Baby!

Her last day was a blast and she is just getting so big! Thanks Teacher Shelly you truly are the greatest!
