Well, it's official. Last Saturday (October 25) Avery wrapped up her swimming lessons after a year and a half. She is now excellent at freestyle and backstroke, and has the basic concepts of breaststroke and butterfly down. We are very proud of her and feel confident and safe with her being in and near the water.
Camden will continue his lessons on Saturdays until he is a strong swimmer. He is progressing very nicely and really looks forward to going each week to see his teacher, Mike. When we are getting him dressed to leave the house (or even on other days when we happen to drive by the swim school), he shouts, "MISTER MIKE!!!"
Avery decided she was ready to move on and try something new. She became interested in gymnastics after watching gymnastic videos on YouTube and then practicing the moves in the living room and on the grass. So instead of letting her try on her own to break her neck on the carpet, we have started gymnastics lessons on Tuesdays, which she really looks forward to and is already excelling at, even though she has only been going for about three weeks.
At only her second lesson, the instructor was already using Avery as an example on the bar because she was doing better than the other girls who have been in the class for a while. Proud Mom moment!
