Kayleigh's swimming lesson

Kayleigh has been taking swimming lessons for most of the summer with our friend, Emma. I decided to take the camera today to get a couple of videos of her swimming. She can swim by herself, but not very far. She hasn't gotten down how to swim parallel to the pool so she can keep herself going. Sometimes she looks like she's riding a bicycle and doesn't go anywhere. Emma is great with her, and we have appreciated all of the work that she has done with Kayleigh. We can't believe that she's even able to go a short distance on her own!


In this next video, I only caught the tail end of Kayleigh swimming on her back. I tried to get the whole thing, but I realized halfway through that I had somehow hit the record button before she started swimming, and then when she started, I turned the recording off. Thankfully, she was showing off at the end.



This last video is of Kayleigh jumping in the pool. She has one hand on her hip, and is counting to three with with the fingers on her other hand. Enjoy!

What a little ham she is - doing the backstroke and waving/looking at the camera at the same time!!

Love all the videos, pics and updates! Kayleigh is too cute. What a sweetie pie! The two look like best friends. That's how Avonlea and Lincoln are. They don't like being separated. Too cute.
