Abby's Swimming Lessons

Abby took swimming lessons the first two weeks of June. It was not a happy time for her or for me. While she hated every minute of being in the actual lesson, she did learn how to swim and did really great! Each lesson involved her crying for me or Nathan to rescue her and us going out to wait in the car until the lesson was over. It was loads of fun!


This was towards the beginning of the first day. She let Mrs. Cheryl take her all around the pool and right when she got in front of me, she flashed her smile right out me.
Playing with her friend Sophia.

This was the expression on her face during almost every lesson after the first day.

Serious meeting with her buddy Matthew.

Off she goes!

So scared to make the jump.

She did it!


The day swimming lessons were over Clay took Abby to Target to pick out a toy. He made a deal with her that on the last day they would have a special Daddy/Abby date to go pick out whatever she wanted.

She chose this cute Disney Princess phone/answering machine. Clay said she was very thoughtful and gave great consideration before she settled on the phone.
Yeah Abby! Hopefully swimming lessons will be calmer next year!!
