so both kids are now taking swim lessons at the ymca......and they both love it......casey's such a crazy independent swimmer it's nutty......she's sort of between needing 1/2 bubbles to help her keep afloat while swimming - she's either lazy in her form (scooping and kicking) with 2 bubbles but 1 doesn't really provide enough flotation to allow her to focus on form either......so once we work past this stage it'll go better, but she loves the water and loves jumping in......molly's really great in the water too - not fussy at all (in fact it pulled her out of her teething funk last week) and she even has no problem at all dunking all the way under.......it's funny the looks of horror the first time moms with babies molly's age give me when i dunk her......i'm sure i was much more leery about doing that with casey too at molly's age, but guess i've relaxed in my "old mom age".......if molly's ok with it, i am too.......
funny little story here - i took molly to swim class the other day and was talking to one of the other moms there - she mentioned that she was talking to another ymca friend about the age difference in our swim class (there's a bunch of babies molly's age, but also some that are 2-3 years)......her friend was saying that when she takes her daughter to swim class (a different day/time than molly's class) that most of the kids are around the same age/skill level - except for this girl that swims on her own and is kind of crazy - um, yeah that'd be casey.......her daughter's totally in casey's class.......hahahaha.......she's 2 and has a reputation already!......
