Lily has now attended 2 swimming lessons and she's loving every minute of it. She loved the pool this past summer (and the ocean) so we thought it'd be a nice activity for her during the winter. I didn't want her to forget how much she enjoyed being in the water! It also allows for some special time with her daddy since she now has to share her time with a new little person.

I didn't come to the first lesson because I didn't want to be a distraction. After going to the second lesson, I realized I couldn't have been more wrong about thinking my presence would distract her! She just had an absolute blast in the pool that it really didn't matter if I was there or not. She did look over a few times to see if I saw her swim through the hula hoop or go down the slide, and a couple times she'd look over and sign "more" because she wanted to do whatever it was they were doing again! So cute. They did a bunch of different songs and activities and I think she smiled just about the whole time.

As I sat on the bench with a few other parents (and grandparents) laughing and clapping, I couldn't help but think, "wow, my little girl is in there kicking and paddling and singing songs with the group..." and I felt like it wasn't that long ago she was just a little baby, brand new to the world just like our sweet Griffin.

I went a little nuts taking videos (I think I took 8 in total!) but here
are a few, quick snippets from Lily's lessons:
