My little fish wowed me this evening. She was out in the pool with her Aunt Lacy watching her and Lacy came inside calling for me not knowing what to do. Ashlyn was wanting to jump into the pool and swim! So I said Let her! I gave Ashlyn the "go" and she jumped off the steps in the pool and started swimming. I had to be there to help her back to the side but OMG she's doing it on her own! So i got in with her and let her swim. She was non-stop! Swimming from me to the side, to the steps and back! Then she wanted to jump off the side of the pool so I let her! She started jumping off and swimming to me over and over again! I was amazed! With only 5 days of swimming lessons she's in the pool swimming with on fear! Ms Pam said it usually takes 2 weeks after for them to regain the confidence in getting back in the pool,but Ashlyn has never hesitated. My baby is the youngest in her class and I'm so proud of her! I cant wait until Tuesday to tell Ms Pam this story. The end of next week they are jumping off the diving board! I may try that with Ashlyn in our pool tomorrow ;)
Here is a video clip that Lacy took with her cell phone, if it's big on your screen you may have to squint to see it or it may be tiny but wanted to show you. Here's another one. By the way, she's naked lol. A week ago she was screaming and afraid to swim and today she can't get enough of it.
On another note, Saturday when I get home from school my mom told me she had been taking Ashlyn to the potty around the clock and Ashlyn was wearing her big girl undies, so potty training has been going well this weekend, after swimming lessons is over I'll dedicate a few days to stay home and take her around the clock. My baby isn't such a baby anymore, isn't there something we can feed them to slow down the growing part? lol
