Hannah the Mermaid; Pt. 2

Hannah has done remarkably well during swim lessons this week. Monday started off slow. As in, Hannah refused to get into the pool at all. But we are so glad we returned Tuesday morning! She has been active and excited and trying all sorts of new, and challenging, things this week!


Hannah has progressed to doing the 'frog swim' technique, as long as a teacher is holding her. She stood off of the wall, touching her feet to the bottom of the pool!! This was HUGE for her!


Hannah also used a kick board to kick around the pool, with the teacher holding the kick board rather than her. She even went down the kid's water slide! Hannah also says that she 'bobbed' her head under the water, which would be the ultimate accomplishment for this girl, but I haven't seen that yet. But she probably did!!


(Out of order, but here is a dress I made for Hannah. She finally wore it for me!)


Smiling after swim class!


My big, brave lady in the water! I am so proud of her! We're thankful her teachers were extra patient with her, and will be baking them a few dozen cookies this afternoon to show our appreciation.
