Not a fish but....maybe a gymnast?

This Friday, Bailey had her first "Gymnastics class" (actually...I think they call it a toddler tumbling class). She did great! She showed no fear on the balance beam (they had one on the ground, one about a foot off the ground and the other about three feet off the ground...of course, I held onto her hands/waist for the two off the ground), she had no problem trying the obstacle course and she was even brave enough to allow the instructor help her over the bar! That's my girl! Her friend Evan joined her and, as always, the girls did great together :) I know one of my pictures below (of Bailey running) is fuzzy...sorry. I put it in, because I thought it was so cute. She ran all over the gym, she really enjoyed it :)

On the swimming, she did much better yesterday. She was not as anxious and she felt more relax when trying things. I tried convincing her to blow bubbles in the water but, she's not quite there..... yet :)

Hope your week was wonderful!

Love of love...

Life Lesson....

When a 2 year old tells you she has to blow her nose....



Never let her get the tissue, herself.

Lesson learned.... :)

I'm a little girl...not a fish.

Before having Bailey, before I was even pregnant with her actually, I had always planned to take my children to swim lessons early on. Even though Bailey is only 2, in my eyes we're getting a late start; I would have rather started by 6 months. Having said that, time goes fast so here we are, age 2, starting our first set of swim lessons. Saturday was the first class (this class is 5 lessons, Saturdays for five weeks); it went pretty well however...Bailey definitely made sure that I knew that I was not to let go of her for one moment. By the end of the class (about 40 minutes) the brave girl in her came out and she stood on the edge of the pool to "jump" in (really it was more of me lifting her back into the water but Tom and I made sure to make a big deal out of it, praising her as if she had dove in). I'm excited to see how she reacts to the next class....we're going to blow bubbles in the water in preparation for going under the water (something Bailey has never done). I'll let you know how it goes!

Lots of love to you all....
