Two little fish

Catching up on the summer events... Each of the children definitely learned and grew threw the 4 weeks of swim lessons. For Elijah it was learning that he will not drown in the pool (especially when you can touch the bottom) and then that he could swim all the way across the pool without help.

See him go from hesitant and uncomfortable in the first days to confident and happy in the pool was yet another testament to the truth of personal growth in all of us.

Finally of course, there is the last day of lessons and the every child's coming of age moment, the leap of faith, the high dive.

The lessons for Alethea were that she can in fact drown (even though she really believes and tries to swim), taking turns with the teacher is important,

and that swim lessons are fun.


Then there was the build up. Would Alethea jump off the diving board or be dropped off?

Of course anybody truly blessed enough to hear Alethea belt out a joyous "Cannonball" knows what she did
