Maddie is FINALLY swimming

Maddie has been our child a little less interested in learning to swim. Actually, she has been quite scared! Alex and I have both tried and tried and she even wears a puddle jumper to help her feel more comfortable/safe. It doesn't matter, she just doesn't trust it. It can some times become very frustrating for both Alex and I. This was another concern for us going in to this trip. We told her that we'd be spending some time at the pool and she needed to remember that her float would not allow her to go under, we wouldn't let anything happen to her and there is NO CRYING at the pool!


Well, guess what?!?!?! You got it! Maddie conquered ANOTHER fear on this trip! She started swimming!!!!!!! Alright, so its not FULLY swimming ( she is still wearing her float) but a HUGE hurdle for Maddie and Alex and I for that matter. LOL She loved it. She was all over the place and so proud of herself. Here is a video that Alex sent me while they were having some Daddy/kid time.
