Swim Lessons

So Reagan just finished taking swim lessons this past Saturday. We went every Sat for 5 weeks and the class was 40 mins and she took the first level (Preschool 1). Basically they did the same thing every class:

blow bubbles with face in the water
practice swimming leaning on the teachers chest & kicking
practice their stroke with noodles and the teacher
floating on back
jumping in the water (other words also going under water)

Reagan enjoyed the class and did well and would volunteer for everything; but just didn't really want to put her face in the water much or go under. She did much better on the last class with putting her face in the water & blowing bubbles; but still wouldn't really go under the water at all. So she didn't "graduate" to the next level; which is fine. She's comfortable in the water and that's the main thing right now. We'll see if a week at the beach will make a big difference. Once I get the pictures downloaded from the camera (Eric is currently on call and the camera is with him at all times right now), I will post them of her at her last class with her certificate.

Our Egyptian Princesses

Eric's parents spent close to 4 weeks traveling Egypt and brought the girls back some Egyptian Princess Dress up clothes. Reagan modeled her outfit for us and Bailey kept the hat on for a little bit.


Doesn't she make an adorable Princess
Bailey doesn't know what to make of those beads
Such cuties!

Gotta Wear Shades

Bailey is pretty good about keeping hats & sunglasses on. She actually loves to put sunglasses on and then of course take them off and put them back on again. But so far the few times she has been to the pool, she has been good about keeping the sunglasses on and she's so cute wearing them! Here is a picture of her & I and the pool in her shades. Now if we can just get her to like the pool as much as she likes wearing the sunglasses. I have another picture of her wearing Reagan's blue sunglasses but I'm having issues getting to that drive right now. Once I can get that drive up again, I will post it later!
