Sissy Buns

Sis taught herself how to swim yesterday. I don't mean dog paddling, I mean full, outright swimming!!!! The child cracks me up. We went to Remicks' pool on Tuesday, and she started jumping off the diving board and swimming to the ladder (with swimmies on her arms) over and over. Then on Wednesday, we went to our pool and she stayed in the pool forever with her swimmies on. About 20 minutes before we were going to leave, she took her swimmies off and started swimming from one end of the steps to the other. She would use breaststroke arms and flutter kick. She was so proud of herself. Yesterday, we went up to the pool late in the afternoon, and girlfriend started swimming for real. She can swim all over with her little underwater swim, and she started swimming freestyle. She has so much fun in the pool, and I guess it has paid off. She is a little fish! Her freestyle is a little sloppy mind you, but she is really swimming!!!! She can jump off the side of the pool and swim back to the edge and/or steps. She can't wait to show her daddy this afternoon. (And I'm sure anyone else who will watch her!!!!!) 3 years old and swimming- at least her stubbornness worked in her favor this time!
