Swim Lessons!

Today was Emmy's first swim lesson and she did great! The first half of the lesson she looked like she was trying to figure out what was going on but at the end she was having fun. She got to sing songs, play with toys, kick her legs and learn to move her arms. Next lesson or the one after that, she'll be going under :) It is amazing to me that I got in the water today with my DAUGHTER. In high school I taught swimming lessons to kids for years. Not with their parents, one on one. And the school I taught at, their method was a "throw 'em in" philosophy. I can't imagine sitting on the edge of the pool now and watching some high school kid let my kid go in the water. Yes, I taught these kids how to swim and quickly but I had no idea what I was putting those parents through until now. These lessons are nowhere near as intense but I think we are both going to have fun :)
