Now that Ej's not studying in every waking hour we have had the time to finally do some things we've wanted to do for a long time. One of those things is to get Tori in swim lessons. She was ecstatic about the idea. I was a little nervous at her first lesson since in the past she has shown some slight hesitations. As soon as we stepped foot into the building my fears were gone. She couldn't wait to get into the water and spent the entire lesson with an ear to ear grin plastered to her face.
She has loved getting to play in the water, getting sprinkled and splashed. At her second lesson it was time to jump into the water to the waiting instructor. She was a little nervous about that and wanted to hold a hand as she jumped. I was very proud of her for jumping in, even if she wanted a little help (I still can't jump in). After class we talked about practicing next time jumping without help. She informed us that her feet just didn't want to jump. Hopefully with a little continued gentle encouragement she can conquer that little fear. I sometimes can't quite believe how independent my little girl is becoming.
