Swimming

I was so excited for Saturday to come because it meant taking Emily to her first swim lesson!  She got a certificate for a full session (once a week for 8 weeks) for her birthday and I finally remembered to call last week to schedule her.  She didn't know a whole lot about what it meant and actually thought we'd be going to the pool at Grandpa Nick's house, but after I explained that we were going somewhere new so she could try and swim like some of her cousins she was even more excited.  Her lessons are at this great sports center for kids where they have swimming, gymnastics, dance, and some other stuff.  She's already showing interest in doing some of the other activities there after swimming is over.

Anyway, she did really good for her first time and didn't cry at all!  Her biggest obstacle is that she has a huge problem with getting her eyes and ears wet, it freaks her out!  She had a lot of fun and said she liked it, but since the teacher forced her to put her head under water a couple of times (in the nicest way, I promise!) she said she didn't want to go again.  Then on the way out she got a lollipop and decided that of course she wants to go next week!
