Swimming Lessons

This spring I signed Kira up for her first swimming class at a nearby rec center.  It has been a really fun thing to do together and we're sad that there is only one class left.  It was tough to squeeze the class in each Saturday as we were going through the process of selling and buying houses, but it was worth it!

I am so happy that Kira still LOVES the water.  I wasn't expecting her to learn much at this young age, but I was happy to see her quickly gain confidence with things like blowing bubbles and jumping in without holding on to my hands.  She lets me dunk her under the water but I get carried away and do it too much and then she doesn't want to do it anymore because of swallowing so much water.

Some of her favorite activities in the lessons were swimming to the ping pong ball, using a noodle, and jumping in.  Most of the time I went in the water with her, but Jeff took her a couple of times when I couldn't.
