Under Water Swimming

Today both of the girls were very focused on wanting to try and swim under water, as they hadn't been able to yesterday.  Right when we got to the side of the pool, Abby asked Anne right away if she could try going under water.  Anne was ready for her to try it right away, so Abby stood up and Anne helped her jump in.  Abby came up sputtering, apparently she didn't time something right.  Anne said that Abby had her mouth closed, but something just didn't work out correctly.  She recovered quickly and then sat by the side of the pool to wait her turn.  Zoë got to go next, and did pretty well. 
Abby and Zoë got to go on the big fish and kick to see who could make them go a different direction, then a little boy named Emerson got to join them.  After all of the kids had their turn with this, Abby and Zoë raced each other to a toy in the water, using their noodles to keep them afloat.  Next they practiced using the noodles to float on their backs and kick their feet.
Once class was just about done, all of the kids had one more turn to jump into the water to Anne.  Abby chose not to go under water, but Zoë wanted to give it a try.  She did a great job and was very proud of herself.

Abby @ 3 years, 6 months, 28 days
