Little Swimmer

Elliott has always loved water.  This summer and last, she threw herself into Walden Pond without hesitation, she has no problem pouring water all over her head in the bath -- so when she was clingy and panicky in swimming lessons, we were perplexed.  We tried a Saturday class with Jas and a Thursday class with me -- no luck.  She HATED the pool and would cry the whole time.  So we took some time off.  A few weeks ago, we tried the pool again.  It took three weeks of open swim with Jas but now she SWIMS.  She slowly got more comfortable in the water (with the bubble) and now she'll jump into the water and swim with her head underwater.  She loves it.  There is more than 2 feet of snow on the ground right now but both of them are hoping with YMCA is open tomorrow so they can go swimming!
