Swimming

The girls and I just finished a 2 week session of swim lessons. I say the girls and I because I got to do Mommy and Me lessons with McKenna. (No pics of that though, sorry) Anybody who's lucky knows that we have the best swim instructor in town. My sister-in-law Lindsey does group lessons in her parents' pool every summer and she is awesome! She is so good with the kids and talks them through everything. Even when Allison was scared to try something new, Lindsey was gentle and calm, but she still made Allison try everything. She wouldn't go on to the next kid until everyone did what she was asking them. Allison learned a ton and progressed so far in just 2 weeks. McKenna learned to be really comfortable in the water too. Almost too comfortable by the end - she kept trying to get out of my arms to go do her own thing, and she didn't seem to care that we were in the middle of the pool.
