My Water Babies

I am really enjoying my girls, Peyton had his last day with us (for now, more to come on that) last week so starting this week I am working 3 days a week and not very long hours, until school starts again. I am taking full advantage as I have not worked part time since I started 4 years ago, last summer I worked 7 days a week from 5.30am until sometimes 7pm. I have been taking the girls swimming everyday this week and plan to continue, Masie is such a water baby and I have been teaching her to swim. When I first started she sank every time, she worked hard and practiced and practiced. Yesterday she got it and started swimming, I am so super proud of her. Hailey loves the water but was a clinger, now she is walking around the edges by herself and jumping off the side. Now my Taylor, she is just fantastic, on Monday she was still in the stage of holding onto my neck for her life, she was petrified of the water and got upset if it touched her face. Today we had a break through, a major one, I'm so proud of her. She allowed me to pull her around on the noodle and even let go, plus she enjoyed it. She was jumping off the side and telling me to back up a bit so she could jump further. She even dipped her face in the water, which still isn't her favourite thing to do but she did it. I'm so enjoying my girls, they are so fun to be around and I love teaching them and watching them grow and come out of their shells.
