Swimming Lessons- 19-20 Months

We decided to give Kate swimming lessons this Summer. She's such a good little swimmer and loves the water.  Here are some pics her swim coach, Ms. Shannon, emailed to me.

Gege

5/14/2012 @ 1pm

Gege just left.  She says the prognosis is not good..she didn't shed a tear...was so calm and peaceful.  She said she prays that it ends quickly and has heard it can be painful.  She wants us to praise her life and not mourn her death.  She could have 2 months or 6 months or 2 years.  She is so strong and courageous...she said she is 89 and lived a good life.  I have been in tears since she spoke the words, pancreatic cancer. 

I am so thankful to have had this year living at my Dads. I have been able to spend most every afternoon with Gege and Kate, just talking and laughing out on the back porch.  And every morning we have breakfast together...I am cherishing this time as I have gotten to know my Grandmother so much better.  She really is an angel among us...she has been her whole life.  I thank God for her.

Kate and Gege = Love!

Kate's First Swim Lesson- 19 months!

I have been excited and anxious for Kate's first swimming lesson and I'm happy to report it was not as eventful as I feared it might be!  I thought she would cry and be upset because she had to get in the pool with a "stranger". Ms. Shannon is so sweet and took it slow with Kate and it made it so much easier than I anticipated.  She eased Kate in with toys and was very friendly!  Kate "swam" to me on the edge 3 times..head under and kicking her feet...for about 2-3 feet each time!  She looked a bit alarmed and confused, but she didn't shed a tear.  She's the only kid who didn't cry!

PROUD MOMMY MOMENT :)


Head under water, go Buggy!!!


Have I told you how much this girl loves shoes, this includes "water slippers" as Ms. Shannon called them!!


You are awesome Kate!!

Lessons are Monday-Thursday for 4 weeks!  Very excited to watch her daily progress!!
