Swim Lessons

This summer we signed Nora up for swim lessons at Mehlville High School. These particular swim lessons were the same lessons that my sisters and I went through and learned to swim. Boy how powerful the sense of smell is to bring back memories! I also swam on the swim team and had class in high school at the same pool. Anyway....back to Nora. So the lessons were held every day for three weeks, which was awesome and did wonders for Nora and the pool. Before doing swim lessons she would NOT go under water after swim lessons that is all she wants to do! She did great and it was so nice to have friends with her. Julia (Nicole's daughter) and Natalie (Stephanie's daughter) were in her same group and then Brooke (Karin and Scott's daughter) was in the group next to hers. It gave the girls others to talk to and the parents good conversation while waiting for lessons to end. Scott and I had worked out a deal and we switched who took the girls to lessons and who stayed with the little ones. Stella was hard to keep occupied for an hour! She wanted to be in the water too and tried to crawl to the edge any chance she got. Nora went off the diving board once and that was enough for her (see video below). It was a great three weeks and we definitely will be doing it again!

jumping in!

So here is the video of her going off the diving board. Yes, I am a mean mom and did nothing but video when she started to cry and not want to go off of the board. She did it though!!
