Beating the Heat
The heat that we have had in the past few days has been ridiculous. Good thing we have a pool to cool off in. I am happy to report that Shaelyn is no longer afraid of the water. She is swimming around like a little fish. She will even run and jump in off the trampoline. Her dad and I are so proud of her.
Dakotah has been doing that for quite some time now. She has graduated to doing tricks with her dad. She will stand on his shoulders and do front and back flips into the water. He picks her up and throws her into the water. She loves it. She has such a good time when she's in the pool.
Hadlei is just as brave. She really surprises me. She runs and jumps into the pool just like the big kids do. She swims on her own and doesn't want anyone's help. She even climbs out using the ladder all by herself. Guess she can't let the other kids upstage her.
I was going to have the kids take swimming lessons but I have decided not to. They are doing great. I can teach them in our own pool. There won't be much teaching going on because they have picked up quite a bit on their own. I am so proud!Labels: kids
