Wow!





Friday was the last day of our four week swim lessons and the finale was a "swim meet".  People told me that by the end of four weeks, the kids are swimming across the pool, but I was skeptical. 

Not only did Kara swim the length of the pool by herself, she did it without touching the lane line!  It was a proud parent moment for sure.  And to top it off, she was the only girl (and one of three kids) to jump in off the high dive board!  Go, Kara!



Ben had his own accomplishments to celebrate... he was "swimming" across the pool with his teacher, Jessica, and at the meet, he swam and grabbed the wall on his own. 

At the end of the meet, all of the kids received ribbons for their efforts and our kids are so proud and excited to have their ribbons!

Ben has become really attached to Jessica... he told me last week that he's falling in love with Jessica.  He said, "Mommy, I love Jessica this much" and he'd put his hands about 18" apart.  When I asked if he loved Mommy more, he diplomatically replied, "Mommy, I love you both."  Really?  Already?



To thank Jessica, Ben drew a picture of the two of them swimming together, holding hands... Jessica with her long hair, Ben in his goggles.  How can she resist this cuteness??
