So, right as my opportunity was coming to a close, I decided to rush and get Jane into swim lessons before it was too late. She's been going twice a week for 3 weeks and today was her last lesson. It was just right. We aren't swimming people and Jane doesn't have any experience in the water, so she was in the "guppies" class, which is pre-level 1. I felt a little bad that she's 4 and I haven't done more for her, but whatever. I brought my camera a couple of times, but I was really bad about documenting her first swimming experiences.
This is pretty much how every lesson ended.

cold 4 year old that won't move from under the towel.
Jane wouldn't put her head under the water, so Brent bought her some Ariel goggles and she's dependent on them now. She looks a little freaky in them.
Lizzy was repeatedly harassed by a bee every time we went. Jane says that it thought she was a flower. It came back time after time and would get in her face and just drive me nuts. She's already allergic to everything and I did NOT want to see what would happen if she got stung, so for for her sake, I'm glad that we don't have to go back.
I'm so proud of Jane for being so brave with her swimming. I love that little girl.

Goggles have saved Dylan's life in swimming lessons! Yea Goggles!
I'm glad for no more bees or wasps for Lizzy's sake. I didn't want to think about anphylactic shock or anything. Good for Jane. I felt it was my job to at least make sure my kids learned how to get around in the water so I wouldn't feel responsible if they drowned for not knowing how to swim. In Las Vegas, that was important.
Good for Jane! My kids made such a big improvement in swim lessons too. Aren't you kinda relieved that they are over though? I sure was thankful that Friday was their last day. Finally!!
I think you mean 'Swumming'- that is what Jane calls it, any way.
