swimming

we went to the Y today. nathan works out with the weights, shelby goes to the toddler playroom, elise goes to the nursery and whew! if i have energy left after all of that, then i swim my laps ;)

shelby went right into the play room like she hadn't missed a beat! going there really helped with her separation anxiety. they are real good about telling her that 'mommy always comes back.' and i like to hear how well behaved and helpful she is all the time :)

elise fussed, but her big brother came to her rescue! he heard crying and recognized her cry so he went into the nursery and helped them with her. he gave her my shirt and rocked her for awhile. she started crying so he came and got me. isn't he great! :)

i took shelby swimming. i don't know what happened, but she figured it all out today! we worked on jumping in the water, blowing in the water and putting her face in, and kicking for months. today she all of a sudden started doing all three! she was doing so well that i started letting her go under the water when she jumped in. she did great! pretty soon she'll be swimming laps with me :)
