First of all, I will explain the photo. We have been in need of another toy box for awhile now (we, also, need to go through some of the toys that they don't play with and get rid of them- even temporarily). Well, I found this toy box on craiglist, and we went to pick it up today. I can't wait to get all of these toys in there!!Today we went swimming again at the place where the girls had their lessons. We worked with them some more on the things that they learned in class, and I added some things, too. I actually got Jaden to jump into the pool (into my arms)!!!! I was so excited that I just kissed her and kissed her and told her how proud I was of her. She had jumped in before, but only while holding onto my hands. I told her I wanted her to jump to me and I would catch her. It was a big struggle with lots of crying and tears. I just kept telling her "1,2,3, jump!" When I had said it for about the 25th time, she did it!!! When I was telling her how proud I was and told her about "trust" (what I had discussed with her before- to explain the meaning), she said, "Well, you just kept saying '1,2,3, jump!', so I just jumped."
Morgan wouldn't do any jumping because she just didn't really understand what she was supposed to do... but she has no fear of the water. She was doing everything (except going under)- kicking, splashing, blowing bubbles, etc. Both girls even practiced floating on their backs.

So fun. James loved his swim classes this spring. I'm glad we started early.
