Emaline Swimming!

Emaline has officially become a swimmer. I can't believe it. We really got her going at the end of last summer and I was afraid not being able to have the pool all year long that it might set her back, but nope...there was no stopping her! So this year we switched her over to swimmies/floaties so that she could get a feel for floating around on her own and she really like the independence. I did buy her one of those swimming vests, but she absolutely hated it, so the swimmies were the next step for us. Then, just randomly a couple days before the 4th she told me, "mom, I don't need my floaties, I've got magic fish goggles that will help me swim". So I put on her goggles for her and sat on the step with her in the pool, next thing I know she's jumping off and kicking her legs and moving! She had gotten really good at holding her breath, but it scared me too, so I made her hold on to me for a little while and the next day she was showing Pepere like she was an old pro. Now, no more floaties, no more holding on to Mom....*sniff sniff*, my baby is growing up! So here is one of her first push offs. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I do.
