Great Strides

I don't know what it is about dads but they have a knack for getting kids to do things that moms just can't get them to do. Don has brought the kids to the pool three times this week and has Liv & Bella making great strides. Bella is now jumping to Don in the big pool with only a noodle...yes this is the girl that SCREAMED on her 1st day of swim lessons & had to drop out because she wanted nothing to do with the big pool. She also is swimming all around the pool with her noodle in tow and loving it!

At the beginning of the summer Olivia didn't really have any desire to jump in the 5ft and wanted NOTHING to do with the diving well or jumping off of the board. Within the last couple of weeks she has started jumping cautiously into the 5ft with her friends but made sure that she jumped right near the wall. Last night when we all went to the pool she was jumping in the 5ft and swimming to me & then back (she was so cute, she looked like a little frog). Tonight when Don took the kids SHE JUMPED OFF THE BOARD! Lauren (one of our favorite guards) was working tonight and had time to work with her...she started with her just jumping off the side into the diving well, then they worked their way around the whole well, and then she felt ready to tackle the board.

I will try and get some pictures and or video of them this week.

WAY TO GO GIRLS!!
