well, we'll continue to work with her alot, but the girl can swim! her instructor has deemed her a "fish."
last day....
swimming from the stairs to "mrs. lindsey" while lindsey was taking her pic with the camera underwater:
 |
| look at those little legs kicking. so sweet. they worked hard on her kicking this week - getting those legs out behind her. |
practicing some strokes.......she's not really ready and willing to use her arms correctly with any big strokes quite yet. she can do the "icecream scoop" strokes pretty well=)
we are supposed to say good bye to our good ole trusty puddle jumper:( lindsey recommended the power swim swimr training system for her when we are not in the water working with her which will allow her to still be able to swim flat on her tummy with her legs out so she can kick and use her arms. it will also allow her to put her head under. hopefully, trey will be able to continue spending time with her in the pool without any floatation device after he gets home from work in the coming weeks. i only have a week or 2 left before it's not really a good idea for me to be in the pool - apparently if my water were to break in the pool i might not know it. ha! i read that in my book.
anyway, we are very proud of her and she certainly is proud of herself!
i can't believe what a big girl she is becoming!
another reason we're proud of sarah kate: she just sat in the chair like a big girl this morning at her dental appointment. she let them clean, floss and polish those little teeth! her first appointment was about 7 or 8 months ago and at that point she would just let them look around and check her teeth. my how she has grown!! then she sat in a little chair and watched me have my teeth cleaned. ha - i sound like i think i have the perfect child! she is a toddler - no doubt we have our moments and some days are way better than others. but she has just done so well this week with her swimming (NOT including monday) and then her dental appointment so we are calling this whole week a big huge success=)
sarah kate: you need to stop sucking your thumb sometime in the next year!
dr. chelsea said that her front teeth will continue to push out as long as she is still sucking her thumb at night but that if she stops before she's 4 or 5 then they will settle back in. if she doesn't stop then after 4 or 5 there will be permanent damage and we'll be looking at braces and all (but let's face it, what kid doesn't get braces these days? besides my cousin dean, seriously i think we all wore braces growing up.) i've got to come up with something good to get her to stop. i'm accepting ideas=) a trip to disney? hahaha! we also need to floss between the teeth that are touching. that's it!
and because he deserves some blog love:
