17 Classes Down...

3 more to go! Abbie and I have been taking swim classes every Thursday morning since January. She will have been going for 20 weeks when we have our last class at the end of May! It is hard to believe we started going when it was snowing and 27 degrees outside. Needless to say, it was hard getting out of the house for swimming those days!


Abbie has always been very good at swimming. She has never complained about doing any of the activities. She just recently started to actually enjoy them, whereas before I think she was just humoring me! She can now swim under water for about 7 seconds! Way to go Abbie! Miss Theresa (her teacher) says she is really starting to get the idea of swimming and moving under water.


She loves seeing the 5 other kids in her class her class each week. She is by far the youngest but has finally caught up to them! Steve came last Thursday to see her progress. The video is a montage of some of the different activities we do in class. We both are looking forward to taking swim classes again in the Fall!
