Swimming Girls

I am so proud of my girls. This has been a long time coming! Caylea could kind of swim last summer but she was too scared to really ever give it her all (kinda like riding a bike with no training wheels ~ which is her next battle). So over the last month or so the kids have been using snorkel's at the pool with their floaties/life jackets. Yesterday Carolina and Caylea asked to take off their floaties and I said yes but stay right here by me and where you can touch. So Carolina started just going under water. She was asking me to count and I could count to 10 which I thought was really good for the first time doing it. She then just started swimming around like a little fish under there! It was amazing. I told Caylea she could do that if she wanted to after all she was already going under water. So soon she tried it also!

Caden also wanted his life jacket off ~ he knows to stay on the steps now without it! He like always has to learn the hard way! BOYS! :) However he is great about going under water and popping back up and he also is doing great about remembering to stay on the steps. I got him and Carolina some regular floaties today for the pool so that he doesn't have to wear the bulky life jacket. It will give them much more freedom when they don't want to stay right by me.

I can't wait to take them again!

I uploaded a bunch of video's to my you tube channel tonight. Several from swimming yesterday. In case I haven't mentioned it I am so proud of my girls and I am so thankful that God blessed me to be their (and Caden's) mommy and that He gave us the ability for me to be a stay at home Mom and watch all of the firsts!
