Amelia took the "plunge" today and started swimming lessons! We love how much progress Mira has made in the past year (we think she's actually a fish!) and want Amelia to have some swimming skills before the summer pool and lake season begins in a few months.
Amelia did well for the most part. She was a little afraid at first, and even cried a little, but her instructor Amy coaxed her away from the platform and helped her float on her back. It was really fun to see! (To be fair, it was a rather chaotic lesson, for they started in a different pool when a suspicious brown floating object was found in the big pool. Then they moved to the pool they were supposed to be in midway through the lesson.)
Scared and crying a little!

Here she goes!

High-five from the teacher:

And my sweet family:

We are looking forward to another fun weekend, this time at a family birthday party, complete with swimming at their house! (Don't worry, it's an indoor pool.) Valentine's Day next week. Did you tell your sweetie you love him or her today?

Way to go Amelia! I've been putting off signing Piper up for more swimming lessons. I have a feeling once we get her back in the water it's going to be impossible to get her out!
