So last night was our last night of swimming lessons for a little while. Avery was a Penguin and Lucy was an Angelfish. Both of them really enjoyed it, and it was a lot of fun to see them progress through the last five weeks.
Lucy has been doing a lot of jumping into the water. She gets all geared up like there is going to be a huge jump and then pretty much falls into your arms. If I had to guess I would say that jumping in and trying to blow bubbles are her favorite. Right now she just puts her mouth in the water open, and to her she is blowing bubbles. We haven't quite figured out how to teach her to close her mouth, but there is a little more time before she needs to do it. Brett and I have been trading off nights with her in the water which has been great because we get to both see how well Avery and Lucy are doing.
This is Avery's first time in Penguin class. They do a lot of front floats, back floats, and bobs. We ended up buying Avery goggles so that she would put her face in the water. The only problem is she wont let us put them on tight enough so every time after she puts her face in the water she has to dump out the water. The goggles have really helped with the bobs and front float. Her only problem is the back float. (You can watch the video and see how much she doesn't like it.) One night though she did do it for a couple seconds all by herself and was so proud. Her favorite part of swim lessons is when they do Red light, Green light, Yellow light, Monster Green light, and Disco light with their kicks. She also really likes the game of Mr. Shark, and enjoys chasing people in the water. Overall she has learned a lot, and will have the wonderful priviledge to be a penguin again the next time we take swimming lessons.
I hope that you enjoy the pictures and videos, and all are having a great time. And only one week until Spring Break and one month until taxes are due. So those are two major HOORAY's in our lives.
