ellis had her first ever swim lessons last week. she went for 5 days straight for 30 minutes a day...one on one. they are intense lessons...there was crying...and she is for sure traumatized for life...BUT...she would now survive a fall into the pool :) the last day of lessons...you literally walk in and glendy tosses your unsuspecting child into the pool...flipping them in the air so they don't have a bearing on where they are (she actually first did this on day 2 i think). if you are in the market for lessons- glendy of glendy's waterbabies is so great. she is on facebook and takes kids as young as 6 months. she thought ellis was hilarious. any chance she got, she would tell glendy she needed to tee tee or poo poo. we weren't buying it :) and when she would come up to the top of the water everytime, after being thrown in the pool, ellis would say, "i don't want a sleeping beauty cupcake maker anymore"...the item i had chosen to bribe her with to get her swimsuit on everyday. i will post a video of her in action soon!ellis w/ ms. glendy after the last lesson. she told ellis she could go hunting w/ her anyways because ellis had no problem tee teeing in the grass (one day she really did have to go!) swimsuit from...crewcuts...who knew grey, pink and yellow could look so cute together!?
what fun! we are planning on taking some private lessons soon too! should be interesting! way to go ellis...that is scary to be thrown in the water!
