I was so proud of Katie today. She took her first swimming lesson even though she is quite afraid of the water without her Dora "donut". She can really get around in that thing, but it's not true swimming. So, she listened to her teacher and performed remarkably well! She was very close to tears a number of times (It was so hard watching her face crumble, eyes pleading "Please help me!") but she endured. She was quite the trooper! A few times today she said to me, "You know, Mom, I don't like swimming lessons that much." I explained to her that it was important to know how to swim, and maybe (if we are REALLY lucky) we will be able to get a pool in our backyard. I told you my husband rocks.:-) I wonder how tomorrow will go, but as for today I could not have been prouder. Good job, Katie!
