Yesterday Gentry started swimming lessons with Angie, Danica's mom. She was very excited but also nervous. She asked me to pray for her before the lessons, so we did as we drove to their home. She got right into the water and did fabulous! They practiced blowing bubbles in the water, kicking her legs, climbing the wall, holding her breath and entering and exiting on the ladder. That afternoon she took a 3.5 hour nap! She was one worn out fishy:) That evening we got Destiny and headed to Luke's softball double header! He won the first game and lost the second.

On Tuesday we went to the Y and then came home for a quick nap for Ace and then off to the 2nd day of swim lessons. Today she was pretty excited but told me "No slide mommy!" She is a little weary of any slide, as she fell off the slide at her 2nd birthday. "Fall slide mommy" was the phrase of that day, week and month! Today they pretended she was celebrating her 3rd birthday in the pool. They practiced blowing out the candles in the water, scooping the ice cream with each hand (swimming motion), jumping in the jump stations and the most exciting part, opening gifts! (Splashing her face to get used to the water in her face.)
