Maddi had swimming lessons a couple weeks ago. We were supposed to be in the Mommy and Me class because Maddi wasn't 3 years old yet, but after being in the water for 10 minutes the teacher asked if I thought that she would be okay without me. So I said sure she can try being in the Preschool class. Well she loved being in class with just the other kids and her teachers. She had a little trouble the first day listening because she was just so excited to be in the water, but did really well after that.

She was pretty fearless and would put her head under the water and pop back up. Everyone was shocked that she wasn't 3 yet and was so fearless. Well she wasn't 100% fearless because she refused to jump from the diving board, but she did jump off the edge into the big pool. They stayed in the wading pool most of the time and Maddi was at home. The night before she was so excited that she wore her swim suit while I cut her hair (don't worry we had a different one for her to wear during swim lessons). She is growing up so fast and next week for her birthday we are going to celebrate with family and go swimming in Thermopolis. She can't wait!

What a cute swimmer -- and a good one too it sounds like! Way to go Maddi!
