Would you want to go up against this girl? This is my darling G, just before she told the swim teacher in no uncertain terms was she going to do anything but play in the kiddie pool. At the end of the lesson, he finally got her to agree to try a back float. "I have to go potty first," she says, and hops out of the pool, giving him the death glance over her shoulder, taking just long enough for the lesson to be over. O, on the other hand, is making great strides. Here she is doing the back float with no help. Note that both girls are wearing the goggles they made me buy them. On their foreheads, not they're eyes. Just to complete the "look", not for anything useful like actually protecting their eyes from chlorine. H is doing so well in swim class that I couldn't get a good picture of him--he was going too fast for my camera. I wanted a new camera, but we've spent too much money lately on things like a chainsaw, a riding lawn mower, a trailer for M's truck, a new gas grill, and lumber to build a treehouse. Note the absence of anything for a deserving 30something yo girl on that list. Like lip gloss or a camera.
