In the midst of all the hearing and ear problems Eva is having, I am happy to report some good news: she is kicking butt at swimming! We took lessons at our gym for a short time last year but then the teacher we liked left and our day and time slot was dropped and swimming just went to the wayside. I finally bit the bullet and paid for a twice a week intensive swim camp at Foss Swim School and I am blown away by the results. Three weeks into classes and Eva is now swimming independently for 10 feet, flipping over onto her back and floating unassisted, and then flipping back over and swimming the rest of the way to the platform. This all coming from a kid who has always loved the water but has pretty much been a spaz up until this point.
Also, because every mom likes to be able to brag, I have to share that she already tested out of her current level. Every child learns at their own pace (e.g. Eva is not the greatest gymnast lol) but to put it in comparison, there is a 7 year old boy in her class that has taken this same level 3 times and he didn't test out while Eva, who started the 5-7 year old class when she was still 4, did. I think she may have her Daddy's fishy genes in her!
Excuse the photos, they are not pretty but you get the idea :-)
