Water Nymph

Bridgette has started swimming lessons! We figure that she'd better start sooner than later, what with the pool in the back yard and all. She's always loved the water and, for the most part, has loved swim lessons. The only exception has been floating on her back. She doesn't really like that, but is getting used to it. She's good at getting her "eyes wet," as the instructors say. She gets her face in the water and even goes all the way under without much protest.

Maren and I are having fun too. We get to go in with her and take her through all of the drills. They say the objective is to have the parents help the baby learn basic survival skills and to become comfortable in the water. Then they are ready to move on to more advanced lessons. We don't get to join those classes. We'll have to sit and watch.
