Swimming!

I wish I had more photos of this, but this summer Emma really has LOVED swimming! At my family reunion she got some time in the pool with Aunt Kristi, who has taught swimming lessons for years! Aunt Kristi helped Emma overcome her fear of getting her face wet in the pool and she taught Emma how to jump into the water. This first picture is from right after Emma jumped into my arms in the pool, she was so excited!

Since coming home from our family reunion, Emma has asked to go swimming several times. Thankfully we live in a neighborhood with a swimming pool, and some of our good friends also have pools in their neighborhoods, so we've been able to swim lots! 

Emma is getting better at being patient while we put on sunscreen, and she's got the sweetest tan lines on her bum from her swimsuit. She loves to jump into the pool, either into my arms or just straight into the water. She's a pro at kicking her feet and is working on how to move her arms. One of her friends is a 5 year old who likes to play with diving rings at the pool. Emma likes to help throw the rings, and then swim around the pool and show Savannah where the rings are.

We will be so sad in October when our pool closes again for a few months.
