1st Parent's Day at Swim...

Anna Lauren has been taking swim lessons everyday this week and will take them again everyday next week. They went completely under water and got a ring off the bottom and then swam – kicking feet, stroking arms, and face in water while the teacher counted to 3 slowly.

From the second she saw us, her bottom lip started quivering and she pouted / cried throughout the entire lesson. However, she did everything she was supposed to do except get her treat and medal at the end…she was not interested. We finally got her to tell us what was wrong, and she said she just wanted to eat lunch and go to sleep…I guess she had hit the “tired” button.

After the lesson, her teacher said she had done GREAT all week…she was completely surprised by her “crying” today. Again, she did everything she was instructed to do and did it well so we were proud of her. Maybe next week we can get her to smile and act like she is having fun because according to her, “swimming is great”!

Holli Grace (blue and white polka dots)...Anna Lauren's sidekick!

Whit coming up from getting his ring...I just LOVE the look on his face!

Uh oh...we almost got a smile from Anna Lauren!

Where is Anna Lauren...oh...that is her "under" the water getting her ring...

Anna Lauren swimming...she did so good!

Coming up from her "swim"...

All her "friends" sitting on the wall at the pool...it was so impressive...not one of them cried...they all did exactly what they were instructed to do...to me, that is impressive with that many 2 and 3 year olds!

Getting their treats at the end of the lesson...of course, Anna Lauren did not want one...we had to get hers for her...

Didn't want the medal either...and the nerve of that lady to think that she was going to wear the medal...

I mean...look at that "attitude"...I'm embarrassed!

Sara Kate, Holli Grace, and Drew...Anna Lauren's sweet friends that she refused to be in a picture with after they were done swimming. Maybe next week she will be better!

Cute Holli Grace proud of her treat and medal...
I mean even Daddy could not make her smile...she was done!
