swim lessons

Summer is officially here and my little ones are just loving it! We have been outside so much enjoying the garden, the beach, and of course blizzard beach. Our latest big adventure has been the daily swim lessons at "Ms Becky's" pool. The kids are taking ISR (infant swim research) lessons which consist of lessons 5 days a week for 10 minutes a day. I have been amazed to see their progress over such a short period of time. Riley has literally loved every minute of it. When it is time for him to get out he begs Ms Becky to stay in and swim just "3 more times please." He is doing such a great job!! Baby girl (I mean "big girl"...she would correct me if she could read) is just a whole other story. She is just a mess at swim lessons! The whole time, and I mean that, the WHOLE time she cries to get out. Before she enters the water she informs us all that she is done and ready to get out now! I will say though she is learning the concepts and doing very good floating on her back. What a sassy little thing though...there is no doubt that all of Ms Becky's neighbors within about a half mile radius are also aware of Callie Joy's dislike for swim lessons. The screaming combined with going under water frequently have also amounted to Callie Joy drinking a fair amount of the pool. Bless poor Ms. Becky because she has her hands full. You will notice that I have posted pictures of Riley showing off his "starfish" but...there are no pictures of Callie Joy... yet. I hope that my previous explanation of her behavior at swim lessons answers the question of why. She requires quite a bit of attention!
