Nora's last day

July 29th
Today was Nora's last day of swimming lessons for the summer. She started out in level 1 and I really thought she would never make it out of level 1. She absolutely would NOT put her face in the water. She had her teachers wrapped around her little finger, so they would reach down in the water and get the diving sticks for her. But as the weeks moved on, she got to be more brave. After her second stint in level 1 she was able to move on to level 2 because she could now float on her back and would put her face in the water. Her second two weeks in level 1, she was the bravest of them all. Her teachers were very happy with her progress.
Now at the end of the last week of level 2, we know she has come a long way because all she does is swim under water and do what she is supposed to. We look forward to lessons next summer when she can brave the water even more.
