The girls did great during the lesson, both getting a little more daring. Since Ashley is quite the little dare devil in the pool, Anna decided to take some pointers from her sister and start having fun.
And that she did!!!!
At swim lessons the girls are learning more swim safety techniques. The one they both LOVE is the "SO BIG" sitting leap off the side of the pool. Anna wouldn't try this during our second morning lesson but at Grammy and Poppy's pool later that day, she was all about it!
What a HUGE LEAP for Anna! As for Ashley, she had been doing this since the first lesson and would do "So Big" with the largest smiles ever!
PS Lesson 3 was turned into a safety class where we didn't really spend much time in the water since they were worried about storm clouds. But our girls spent some time laying on their bellies and their backs in the zero entry pool; something they weren't doing at lesson 1. They also did many more "So Bigs" and LOVED hopping around the pool.
PSS As of today Anna will voluntarily dip her body down into the pool up to her nose and blow bubbles out of her mouth. She just started doing this today. She will also sit in the 1 foot baby pool on her bottom, reach for any object underwater without help and even hold onto the side of the baby pool while laying on her belly and kicking. she is turning back into that fishy we remember. As for Ashley, she is doing great with every fall she has in the baby pool (she falls totally in about 2 or 3 times every time we go) and has gotten to the point where once she feels safe she wipes her eyes dry and stops crying. She will kneel in the 1 foot of baby water, walk down the steps without help and hold onto the stairs with her hands and kick water with her feet. OH and she's blowing bubbles! Way to go girls!
