Swimming Lessons

Dantzel finally made it through a full session of swimming lessons. It only took signing her up twice. She had a hard time with going to a BOY teacher. Very strange for our little girl.
She even jumped off the diving board, went down the big blue slide all by herself and learned how to jump in off the side and swim a enough to stay above water. We are so proud of her. It was so cute to watch Brandon as he took her to class the first week. He was such a proud dad. I think he called me every day while she was in her lesson just so he could tell me all the new things she was doing in the water. I love that he likes to be very involved in raising both our children. :)
This video is proof that she really jumped! She had to have a little help from the "girl" teacher.



This is proof of her swimming (well keeping her head above water)



Sorry for putting 2 videos on but I had to show proof for my older sister. Now for the pictures. It was a lot of fun to take these picture just because usually I am in the water with her.

Way to go Dantzel! That's great she decided that she'd go in the water again. Yesterday we took Lincoln to the pool and it took a looooong time to get him to like being in the water up to his chest. Zach tried to get him to jump into his arms from the side of the pool, but every time he put Lincoln up there, he wouldn't do it and Zach had to pull him in. Eventually Lincoln got smart and when Zach would put him on the ledge, he'd try to get away and run the other way so he wouldn't have to get in the water. Silly kid.

Yeah, she made it through swimming lessons! I love how she has her goggles on all the time, very cool! She is actually able to use them for the right purpose now, and not just around the house. Way to go Dantzel! Your a great swimmer!
