Swimming

Well we finally got to spend more than 5 minutes in our pool! We went Saturday afternoon and had fun. The pink hat is Abigail : ) She was busy trying to chew on the side of the float:
It took about 30 minutes before Emily would venture out past the pool steps. We bought a float for Abigail in case I get up the nerve to go to the pool by myself with both girls. I wanted to have something I could put Abigail in and not have to have both hands on her just in case I needed a quick minute to help Emily. But this float is too big for her. Her head doesn't even go over the top of the float . . . and if Emily continues to only want to hang out at the steps I won't have much to worry about. We got to the pool about 5:00 and most families were heading out to go eat dinner so the pool was pretty empty . . . which was nice.

She is now taking her 2nd set of swimming lessons. Today was their first day in the big pool. Emily is in the very back of the photo sitting at the end of the pool:

The teacher had them jump off the side of the pool (she caught them) and then "swim" to the side of the pool and then they had to get themselves out of the pool. Emily cried just a little but did what the teacher asked her. Abigail and I hid out over in the corner so Emily wouldn't see us.
