Splish Splash!!

First of all- how cute is this picture??!
We have been working with Miss Bella to get her pool-safe and swimming on her own, and she's made some excellent progress this summer! Her classes at AquaSafe have been a big help, but what we've noticed is the thing that works the best is good old fashioned peer pressure. When Isabella sees her friends swimming, or her cousins, or even is Tyler is swimming with her- then all of the sudden she becomes this independent little dare devil! We spent a fun afternoon at her best friend Avery's house the other day, and after watching Avery swim around, Bella decides "hey, I want to do that too!" So she insisted that we let her go and off she went- swimming on her own! Avery's dad Scott grabbed his water camera and we took some fun pictures of the girls swimming around and making faces. Boy, if I had known that a little peer pressure was all it took, then I also need to find her a friend who eats all her dinner, and goes to bed without complaining. Then we have solved all our problems :-) And aren't little girls sooooo cute at the age of 3?? So precious!
