Matilda's thrilled to be taking swim lessons every day this week as part of a big promotion at
the swim center.
This is her first time taking lessons without one of us in the water with her, which is no problem for her.
The only problem is for the poor teacher who has to repeatedly ask Matilda to sit still. There are 4-5 kids per teacher and while each swimmer gets one-on-one time with the teacher, the others are expected to sit still on a step. Matilda doesn't really stop moving at all since she's so crazy excited to be in the pool. Here you see her preferred diversion, belly floating with her hands on the step instead of her butt:
She will also settle for hanging off the rail, practicing blowing bubbles (an approved use of the wait time), splashing her neighbors or yelling enthusiastic greetings of "Hello Mama!" to me repeatedly. Our girl's got spunk.
