Swimming Lessons

 Since we're members of our neighborhood pool, all of our kids can do swim lessons for free.  They are a half hour lesson five days a week, and you can sign up for as many sessions as you want.  I figured Emily would be ready for them this summer, and she did pretty well, sticking it out in the cold pool for 20 of the 30 minutes.  When she got out for the last time, I noticed her big toe was bleeding.  Turns out, all of her toes were scraped up from pulling herself around the pool.  We picked up a new pair of water shoes at the Walmart but I have a feeling that Emily won't want to stick her toesies in the water anytime soon.

Lifeguard Kieva helped Emily "swim".

A little tricky under the diving board, and Emily was getting tired.
