Swimming on her own!!!

On Tuesdays afterschool Ally has swimming lessons. 2 weeks have been canceled due to snow and one week Ally missed when she was sick. So last week was her first week since before Christmas! She did GREAT. And she was so super proud of herself it was amazing to watch.

For the first time EVER she swam by herself, with a noodle. Can you see the huge smile on her face? She was swimming to get that black thing in front of her.

Determined to beat her class mate.


Almost there.

oops it went over the lane

I finally figured out I had to turn the flash off, and by then she had turned around to swim the other way, but you can clearly see that no one is helping her.

When we got home we called Grandma Barbie to tell her, and ask that she have a noodle for Ally to swim with when we go visit her in Florida. It was so cool to hear her tell my mom about it, and have a real phone conversation. She is growing up so much.
