Ruthie's 1st Swim Lesson

Ruthie & Ava's
1st
Swim Lesson
(Best Friends)
Today is the day we've anxiously been awaiting... Swim Lessons! We were not sure what to expect, but excited! Ruthie could barely keep from bursting as I tucked her into bed last night and told her that tomorrow we'd be going to the pool with Ava for swim lessons! We got out the door this morning without too much hesitation. She wasn't sure about her swimming suit- she kept circling her hips and touching her stomach and saying "shirt" "mommy shirt".

What I am excited about the most is that a lot of this class directs children to listen to their mommy's and to sit pool side until their mom instructs them to enter the water. Being that I just purchased pool passes for this summer, I expect to be at the pool a lot this summer and I need Ruthie to be able to follow my instructions at the pool. I think we are off to a good start :) - she's always been very obedient and loves to please. 

So- today, we got in the water, splashed around and just got used to the feeling of the water. :) Ruthie is a fish in the water. She loves to splash around and kick kick kick! It was fun to play in the water with her- and I cannot wait for her to learn some basic swimming moves to get ready for this summer! Ruthie's favorite part (and mine too) was her jumping into the pool into my arms. She had no fear to trust me and jump with all her might into my arms. It was a wonderful time together had by all!
