In my rantiness of earlier I completely forgot to proudly swoon over Beebe's latest achievement! She swam completely unaided yesterday! We've been taking both girls swimming since sometime late last year, we missed a few weeks over Christmas, and then a few weeks 'cos of my ribs but for the most part they've been swimming a lot more. Anywho, when we started Bee was not exactly confident. As the weeks have passed she's impressed us both with her tenacity, from not wanting to be left, to swimming with one arm band, to swimming with a float to just randomly deciding on Sunday to remove both her arm bands and swim. She almost exploded with pride and glee. It's quite something, she's gained so much confidence and hopefully she will continue to flourish. I've always loved being in the water, I taught myself to swim before school, and learnt properly when there. I'd like Bee to feel confident in the water but wanted her to do it at her own pace. Huzzah.
