Swim lessons

I was so excited that I was able to get ElvisAnn
in swim lessons with Miss Debbie. She is an awesome
teacher. She taught ElvisAnn that if she falls into a pool
to turn on her back and float. We still have a lot of work
to get her swimming and pool safe. But its a great start.
Thank you Miss Debbie!!!!! Here are pictures of her progress...


ElvisAnn's first swim lesson, practicing her kickers
and crying in Miss Debbie's ear the entire time.


Perfect Form.


Her 4th lesson, look no hands!


"I can dive for rings Mommy"!!


Getting ready to swim!


Scott's first attendance of a swim lesson and
Miss Debbie asks him to throw ElvisAnn in the
pool. Little did she know that Scott couldn't even
let ElvisAnn cry herself to sleep! Total softy when
it comes to his girl.



Ya, she floated. Scott was relieved.


Her surprise toss by her teacher to see if she will
float. (This was her last lesson, I had to push her
in the pool with all her clothes on to see if she would
remember what she's learned. She struggled, so we have
to keep practicing.)


Where did my baby go?

Success! She came up floating. Ya ElvisAnn!



By the end of her last lesson, she was floating
without crying!



I'm so proud of my little fishy!


ElvisAnn's final toss and float video. Hard to hear her cry,
but that is a great sound to hear, silence is scary! (please note
her left leg, funny girl)

Geez that is really scary! I'm not even a Dad and I had a hard time reading that. I'm glad she's floating though. That is really cool.
