Swimmer Girl Update

Ella has completed her first session of swimming lessons and I am proud to say that she passed level one and is now onto level 2. We are going to have to get some goggles for her however - she loves to open her eyes underwater and they are turning red because she contstantly has them open... But I need to find somewhere where they could fit her for the goggles because her head is a little bigger than the average 5 year old....

She is going to take another session after a week break. She loves swimming lessons and can't wait for them to start up again!

Swimming Lessons

So we signed Ella up for swimming lessons, for something to do this winter. You have to be 5 to start at our community center - she is just a few weeks shy so they let her.

3 weeks ago she would barley put her face in the water. Now after 6 lessons, she floats on her front and back - trys to swim underwater - will dive for objects and will jump in.

I can't wait for this summer and our neighborhood pool!

I think we are going to do one more session just for reinforcement :-)

Ella's paper comment

So we were at Kalidescope and Ella got a crown where the bottom comes out to go around your head.

In the car on the way home

Ella "I know that this crown is made out of paper because it is ripable"
Daddy taking the crown "Now don't rip it or you won't be able to put it on, oh looks like you already did"
Ella "That's how I knew it was ripable"

Got love it....
