Caroline goes Swimming

[puppetmaker]

Caroline is having her second set of swimming lessons. She has the basics down and now she is really learning how to swim. I am glad that if she falls into a pool, she knows how to get back to the edge and which way is up. She really enjoys it. She has always loved playing in water since she was a baby. I will feel better when she really knows how to swim.

We are working on letters and how they are formed. She has her own ideas about letters and numbers and how they are formed. I need to convince her to do it our way rather than hers. I do know that yet again she knows more than she is letting onto. She drew a bunch of bubbles and put the numbers 1 through 7 in the bubbles. Except for a backwards 5, she got them all right. We are still doing the coin game.

She is growing right out of some of her favorite sun dresses. She is getting taller and taller. We put on some pjs that fit last year but now her belly is showing. Her waist still fits but the length is comedic.

I have a number of errands to run today and some other stuff that needs serious sorting out. I'm hoping that my sinuses cooperate today.

I am grateful that Caroline wants to learn to swim.

totally understand that getting taller thing.. Breena is skinny and it almost seems when things finally ft around the waist they are too short! and I buy her tops that are a bit bigger for the longer length!
Breena is addicted to dresses and sun dresses of late, is always begging for one... last night at sams, everyone she liked was not in her size, the only 4T I saw was a white one lol and we are not doing white lol.. even the princess bathing suits were not her size they had 3T and 5T but no 4T lol...

I swear every little girl in the area must be a 4T lol..
we have only found 2 dresses at walmart of late in her size... sheesh

good luck with the swimming lessons!

Hooray for swimming lessons and healthy kids who are interested in learning! We are encountering some creative notions about numbers and letter here, too. Kindergarten should prove very interesting!
