Swimming

Katherine has been enjoying swimming lessons the past couple of weeks - with the hope that she will become a little bit more independent in the water. It's been fun to go and watch her growing independence. She's been working on front and back floating, putting her face in the water (which she has been much more willing to try for her teacher than for us!), kicking and "swimming" on a kickboard, jumping in the pool (which she's been doing for a while now as long as somone's there to catch her), and putting her head all the way under. She's doing a great job and is really improving. There's always been a fear of her face getting wet (even in the bathtub), so these lessons are especially helping with that. She always comes home with all of her hair wet, so she's doing great!
