This fall Danika has gone through her second set of swimming lessons in the salamander category. The first time she did okay, however she has a fear of putting her head under water or getting water in her eyes, period. So she sadly didn't pass that first set. This second time around I was blown away by her progress during the swim lessons. I also realized that she is more prone to learning from others than her mommy and daddy. Steve and I have tried numerous times to teach her things and she usually gets frustrated with us or angry quite quickly. However watching her with her swim teacher, jumping into the pool with her head fully emerged and coming out with a nervous, but still visible smile on her face was such a shock to me! She improved this time around immensely, however sadly she did not pass, but only on one account... not being able to do the front float for 3 seconds!
On Friday Steve was able to come and watch Danika's final lesson, and every 2 minutes or so, (to much dismay of her swim teacher!) Danika would look up at Steve and give him a big thumbs up.
