Jacqueline's first Swim lesson

Today was the first day back to swim lessons.  While Ashton was also attending lessons (and did an amazing job!) this was the first "real" lesson for Jacqueline.  Needless to say we were not sure how it was going to work out since there were 4 kids in the class with only one teacher.  

As you can see Jacqueline did great job!  She listened and followed directions really well and for the most part waited her turn without jumping into the water as was my initial concern.



As you can see of the four kids, Jacqueline was one of the two who managed to follow the instructions to kick from the stairs.



And here are both girls with their swimsuits ready to go.  Ashton's class was an hour after Jacqueline and we were all very impressed with how well she is doing.  There were 2 other girls in her class who seemed very well matched in age and ability.  

Anyway, now the only downside is the need to be to the lessons by 9:30am on a Saturday.   What a relief that Jacqueline has been doing well and so far seems to not be suffering any additional ear infection risk as a result (fingers crossed here!).

Glad to see some new fun family photos since the last one was all about the hospital.

indeed! For some reason Blogger and Safari (Apple) have not been playing nice together so I was unable to post photos from iPhoto. Seems it worked again yesterday so I did a post-blitz. Hopefully I can keep more current going forward.
