Claire has been asking for awhile to go swimming.  Unfortunately our friends with pools, have been unavailable lately and when I offer to take Claire to the beach, she doesn't want to go there either.  She wants to go somewhere that she can jump in.  So today, her friend Kenean invited us over.  And this is Claire jumping in!!  This is such a big deal, because at the start of the summer, she still had a hard time getting her face wet, definately would not jump in without holding your hand and couldn't swim on her own.  Now look at her!  I am so proud of the confidence that she has gained!!  Way to go Claire!!

It was a scorcher today!  So I climbed on my bike and pulled the girls behind in the trailer over to our friends Abby and Brock's house.  Claire was practicing everything she had learned at swimming lessons and started swimming on her own today!  She is only able to swim on her back, but she made it the entire length of their pool all by herself!!  She was so proud!  Way to go Claire!!
