Swim School Cake!!!

For those of you who have been following WAY back to the beginning of our blog (you know, last week!), you'll probably remember the countdown chain we had for Abby's cake. Well, the day finally arrived. Today was our last day of swim school and as we walked up, Abby could not stop talking about, "I go under", and how nice Miss Kelly was (who really was awesome). I told her how proud I was of her and I hoped she had a lot of fun during her last day of swim lessons.

Abby walking with Miss Kelly back to the pool for more lessons.

She walked right into the water all by herself and then completed a full swim lesson with... NO TEARS!!! Way to go, Abby! To say this is a big deal for her is an understatement. I only hope that she always holds onto that excitement and pride she showed today when she realized she could do something, even while being a little scared. We do hard things everyday, of course they may vary with levels of difficulty, but we do- even 2 year olds ;)

Getting ready to 'swim' to the step all by herself!
How can you not be proud of faces like that? Way to go Abby & Maeleigh!
So here's to you my brave, little girl... here's your cake, I hope you enjoy! Love, Mama
