Last night was swim lessons. They both were doing great and having great fun. Brandon's teachers says not to worry, he is doing the best in the class and tries everything he is asked to do. See I didn't need private lessons. Now for Lauren's big moment. You sure could tell we went in over the weekend and worked on a couple of things. She was much more confident and seemed to be a little braver. At the end of the lesson they were having the kids jump off the starter mounts. Well, Lauren gets nervous jumping off the wall when I hold her hand. I saw this and thought, yeah, good luck. I have to give them credit. They didn't let her give up. It took about 3 minutes just to get her standing on the block. She looks so scared. Finally they had one teacher in the water to catch her and one on the side to hold her hand. The one holding her hand said she would count to 3 and they would go in together. OK. . . . 1 2 3 and she pulled Lauren off the block and into the water. The other teacher brought her up. Everyone was cheering. By the time they got her in, everyone was watching. At first she had a big smile on her face. Once she got out of the water and over to us she was crying. She had got water up her nose and was doing the drama queer routine. It did really scare her. I told her we would come back over the weekend and work on jumping off the side in the deep end.
These pictures are from last summer, but they are some of my favorite pictures of her. Next week I'm bringing the camera.
