Kitana started up her swim lessons again with Joni. She is doing so well! She can still hold her breath for an incredible amount of time. Her kicks are doing great! She loves to go all the way under water to retrieve the dive toys. She can jump in from the side and swim to the steps. She can float by herself on her tummy and her back. She is currently working on her arm strokes and learning how to take a breath while in the middle of swimming so that she can keep going. We are so proud of her! She hasn't shown any hesitation and is listening so well to her Grandma's instruction. We are so grateful for Joni's knowledge in teaching young kids to swim. It is such a blessing to have a daughter that is almost water safe. I feel like I hear a new story every day about a child who has fallen into a pool/lake. Now, Joni gets to start all over again next summer with Zara :)
Such cut pictures. So fun to be able to teach her she listens very well. Kitana told me that she loves swimming. Yesterday was the best with her swimming on her back so far. That tired her out she swam so far. I love her so much. Can't wait to teach Zara. First we have to get her to walk. Well, she is standing. She will most likely take her first step next week. Love Grandma.
