Emma, along with two of her cousins, is taking swim lessons for the first time this summer.
We found a teacher that comes to my parents' pool a few times a week. It was my hope that lessons will help avoid drownings but I had little hope beyond that. Well it turns out that Emma listens to her teacher a whole lot better than she would listen to me and after 5 lessons, she's actually able to jump in on the side of the pool and swim to the steps all on her own. She can hold her breath, kick her legs and do arm circles.... not very gracefully or coordinated-ly but hey, she's not drowning!
