For Grandma & Grandpa

Alyssa started swimming lessons last week. I thought she'd be a little timid at first, but she surprised me big time. Totally comfortable in the water. Must be in her DNA.

There's only been one thing that she's been fearful of - diving...well, sit-diving...into the water by herself. So far the teacher/coach has been holding their hands and helping them. At least until last night when she asked them to do it alone.





You can see how badly she wants to do it and do it well. She really tries to put on a brave face. Eventually she does it...kind of. That's okay though. We've got 6 more weeks of lessons (twice a week) and then 2 weeks of lessons, Monday-Thursday, in June. She'll be a pro by then!!! So proud of her!




Waiting her turn...



I'm really proud of how well she pays attention & listens to her teacher.


A great sit-dive off of the steps!!


Learning and listening again...


You want me to do this by myself???


Way to go Alyssa!!!
