Our Little Fishy

At the beginning of the summer, Lexie started her swimming classes.  She would barely put her face in the water.  On picture day, they had to dunk her into the water to get an underwater picture.  At that time, she wouldn't open her eyes.

At the end of the summer, the Pisces in her took over.  She has become a little fish.  We had about 19 pictures to choose from on picture day.  It took us a long time to pick these three!

At the start of her 2nd swim session, Lexie was put in a beginner class with Uncle Zach.  She was eventually moved up to the next group with Uncle Kyle.

She is still learning to watch what she's supposed to be doing.

She spends a lot of time playing and making smiley faces at her friend Tyler.  Poor guy, he probably didn't enjoy having a 3 year old taking swimming lessons with him.

Making rocket arms to push off into the pool.

Love that little bottom!

Uncle Kyle is showing Lexie how to do ice cream scoops.

Lexie needs to work on her kicking.  She tends to forget to kick and will just float along in the water and wait for Uncle Kyle to pull her on the barbells.

Lexie's favorite part of class is when she can jump into the water.  She gets upset if they don't get to do that.

Uncle Kyle always tells her to jump in, feet first, but she tries to dive in.

Even though these swimming lessons were a bit pricey, I'm so happy that we went to Leahi.  Lexie has learned so much in just 2 months.  The most important thing is that she's not afraid of the water.
