We started the girls (Gracie Claire & Sydney) in swimming lessons this week! After a few prayers to deal with some worry, they were so excited to start! The first day was a test/safety day. They swam with each child by themselves to see what class to put them in, then they discussed safety at the pool. While they were waiting for their turn to be tested, all of the kids sat on the edge of the pool watching. At one point, Gracie Claire put her arm around Sydney for a few seconds. When she took her arm away, she turned around to me and said, "Mommy, we just prayed together," and she gave me a thumbs up. My heart did a little burst of pride! I love that they're turning to the Lord in their times of worry, even at this young age! When the teachers started talking to the group about safety (there are between 15-20 kids) Gracie Claire and Sydney were the only two who raised their hands to answer questions. What can I say? They love to participate and to talk. (Watch out Mrs. Kindergarten teacher...Gracie Claire is on her way! :)) Anyway, I was one proud Mama! Today, was the first day in the pool learning lots of fish skills...kicking, paddling, blowing bubbles, climbing in and out of the pool, and many more fun things! They were both so brave and had a great time!


Working on their skillz!

What does Molly do during swimming lessons you ask? Stuff bagels in her mouth. Stuffing anything into her mouth makes her so happy! :)
