Swimming!!

My sweet Reese has been taking stroke lessons for 2 weeks now. She is doing so so good. She is taking from a guy named Jeremy, who is not only the coach of the swim team we hope to be a part of next summer, but he's also an Olympic swimmer. Awesome! In order to make the swim team, Reese has to be 5 years old and be able to swim the entire length of the pool. She has all summer to practice and prepare -- and we've started off on the right foot. By lesson 2, she is already 3/4 of the way there. We are going to continue lessons for a bit longer and hopefully by the end of this summer she'll have the whole pool down and just be able to practice until next summer. Keep it up sweet Reese, you're doing awesome!!! (Just fyi, Charlie was taking too, but we decided to wait until next summer to do lessons with him since he can't do swim team for 2 years anyways. He's happy as a little lark swimming the pool without strokes and I'm happy as long as he's happy!!)
