finally swimming

Morgan has had swimming lessons every summer since she was two. This year we went for her refresher in April and she picked up right where she left off. But when it came time to actually swim in the neighbors pool she refused. She always relied on the swim ring to float around in the water. I asked her to swim with me, begged and pleaded and she freaked out every time. I didn't want to push her too much so I let it go. I talked to her instructor who said we should bring her back for another lesson or two. Soon after that it clicked. It took 3 trips to the pool without a floatie and finally the light bulb went off. Now she's a fish.

 She jumps off the side and swims back and forth to us like it was nothing. I once caught her swim out a couple of feet to grab a toy that was floating and then swim back.

 I'm so glad the light bulb finally went off and everything has clicked. I have a feeling from here on out that she'll pick up right where she left off.
