Amelia swims!

Amelia has been taking swimming lessons every week since February. We are proud to say she has improved steadily every week and can now swim across the pool by herself! It's such a great accomplishment for her since she couldn't swim at all just 9 months ago. We really believe weekly yearlong lessons are the way to go. Plus, she loves it so much! It's fun to see her learning new strokes and how proud she is when the lesson is over.

 Almost there!

Mira took lessons for about 16 months straight and loves to swim too! She's such an independent swimmer that we suspended her lessons for a few months, but she will start up again in January. We are going to see if the local swim club will be a good fit for her in the fall. She's excited to try it and start doing swim meets!
