Little Goldfish





Jillian and Owen have completed their first week of swim lessons at the Sellwood Pool. Dawn and I dressed down the first night to go in with the kids, but realized the parents were not required to get in the water. I was delighted, but as the temp. went up as the week went on, I realized I would rather be in the pool with them kicking and treading to stay cool rather than sit on the hot deck chairs and die in the sweltering heat!!!! 
So far, they have learned  floating on front and back while assisted and blowing bubbles in the water and becoming more at ease in the water up to their heads! 
Jillian has taken to it like a fish and really enjoys her teachers, Charlotte and Emily.
Her class continues through this week and we are planning a picnic after the last class on Friday with the Browns!

Go, Jillian!!! So glad to hear you are learning and having fun in the pool. And you look so pretty in your blue & purple swimsuit! Soon you'll be moving like our "washcloth dolphin" that we imagine in the tub at bathtime. Can't wait to see you again... only 3 more weeks!
