Day Fifty Eight and Counting...

It was a very exciting day in our household today!  Not only was Grandma visiting (and Oma and Opa spotted at the mall!), but it was The Big Event!  Grace's first ever swimming lesson!
She had been looking forward to it all week!  Jeremy and I both talked it up, preparing her to meet new friends and a new teacher.  She was beside herself with excitement!

Here, she is a little apprehensive...

And then tries out her first (assisted) back float!

Swimming out from the platform...

 

Turning around to go back... (yes, Mommy sees you!)

And back to the platform!

 

Song and dance break...

Then it was her turn to try jumping in!

She had such a great time!  She was so nervous, and played shy... she really just wanted to play in the water!  Her instructor finally caught her attention - she didn't try to force Grace to do anything!  And then Grace just couldn't get enough!  She can't wait til next week!

As promised, I have Jeremy's Buckley's photos too!

Being a smart-ass, and posing for the camera...

 

The syrup is in... and here is...

THE FACE!
