Like A Little Fish

This is the first summer that Ella has gone to swim

lessons with Mrs. Kidwell. She has gone every day

this week and loved it. The first couple days she started

with the noodle and Hannah for support.

 When I came to pick her up on the third day she had a

surprise for me. The same Ella that can't stand to get water

in her eyes, won't take a shower, and constantly asks to wipe

her eyes when swimming was now going under water on her

own and was loving it. Hannah even gave her a popsicle

for going under, and she was super excited to get home

and tell Dad and Grandma what she can do.

 Then by the fourth night she was all the way in the deep

end and swimming on her own with just words of

encouragement. "You can do it Ella, long arms and quick feet"

I am so glad we did this and we will for sure continue next summer.

Thanks Mrs. Kidwell!
