Project 365- Day 27

These past few days have been a little miserable. My kids get sick and they are better in 3 days. I get their sickness and two weeks later I still have a cough, and I think it is actually getting worse.
Anyway, the baby girl is taking mom and me swim lessons in town once a week. Yes she is only two and a half but if you have seen her fearlessness you would know why we thought she would benefit from becoming water safe as early as possible. And since my inlaws have a huge pond on their property where we sometimes like to swim in the summer I figured, better safe than sorry.
She has been going for a few months and according to her teacher she is doing really well. She goes right under the water holding her breath naturally, and makes an attempt to swim to an edge. It is amazing to witness. She has been learning how to flip over onto her back and float. It's a skill that she would hopefully be able to utilize should she find herself in the water alone.

She loves it! She is okay with the lesson depending on how she feels that day. Sometimes she fights it but sometimes she just relaxes and it is fun to watch her swim like a little fish.
But what she really loves is the slide they have in the preschooler pool. It's in the shape of a whale and they slide out of his mouth. She would spend all day there if she could.
She actually would like to do the really BIG slide that the older kids get to use but she is still too small for it. It's a HUGE 450 degree slide that twists.
She asks for it every time we go.
Maybe when she's three.
