Beach Update Tuesday...





More fun today! Raleigh swam like a fish for most of the day. We are teaching her how to be a bathing beauty as you can see! Little man Aiden went in the pool too. He kicked his feet and seemed to enjoy it. After he took a nice snooze in the shade. What a life, right??

More fun...

Thursday I actually got to attend Raleigh's swim class. Usually I am working and Grammy and Grandpa take her. This week I had Thursday off so I went with them.

We all piled in the van! That's Grandpa behind Raleigh! Oh! And Raleigh had her hair in a ponytail for the first time...just like mommy's!

Two weeks in a row Raleigh has not needed a swim diaper. She seems to be doing better a good portion of the time.

Raleigh sat with Grammy and waited for her class to be called! She has on her brand new swimsuit too!

Here is a video of Raleigh swimming out to the teacher and back to the wall. Considering in December she was really scared to get her head wet, I think she's doing such a great job!


Sitting with her classmates:

Friday we went out to Great Mimi and Great Papa's house. Great Papa made Raleigh a drum out of an oatmeal can (just like he used to do as a kid!) Raleigh enjoyed beating on this and anything else she could get away with.

Great Mimi and Aiden:

Smiley man:

Raleigh went for a ride in the golf cart with Great Mimi and Great Papa:

She was so tired when we got home that after 3 hours I had to go and wake her up. She was NOT happy that I decided to do this by flashing the camera in her face. Crying followed this picture.

Gold Medal Swimmer

Raleigh with Miss Krystal...


Raleigh finished up her first round of private swimming lessons last Monday! She received a GOLD MEDAL which she is ever so proud of! Not too long ago she would scream if you even poured water over her head in the bath tub. Now, she can swim 5 feet unassisted - find the wall - and climb out of the pool.

She has gone from screaming and crying before each lesson to being excited! We are thrilled.
