Swimming!

So Katelyn's done it again! After months of balking and taking her sweet time, over night she "got it," this time with swimming! She does NOT like putting her face in the water, and she is very clingy - and would hate every time we put on her new swimming vest.

Well, on Tuesday, I held her hand and helped her feel how the vest helped her float when she kicked. She would get close to the steps and then I would let her hand go and she would kick the last few kicks to the steps.

Today, we did free swim at Marina High School. (Geoffrey is taking his first swimming lessons with his friend Phillip, right now). And Katelyn got it - she figured out how to kick to keep her self upright and moving. ANd she loved it! SHe wanted to keep doing it - swimming back and forth between Grant and I. MOst importantly, she demonstrated the confidence she needed to be able to kick back and forth between us and not cling to us. And we could be pretty significantly apart - 8 feet, for example - and she wold swim between us! I am so proud of her!
