Little Swimmer

Kendall has been in swim lessons over a year now - we started her at 6 months. Looking back, it is crazy how much Kendall has changed in the last year, and how awesome it was to take her swimming for the first time. Since that first swim lesson, Kendall's love of the water has only grown. Now when we put her in the tub she floats on her back and sings "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" to us, just like in swim class. And after we clean up all the bath toys, she lays on her belly kicking like she does in the pool and yells "SWIMMING!".

When we get up on Saturday morning, she asks "Swimming?" and on the way over to the YMCA she chants "Swimming, Swimming, Swimming". The kid loves to swim.

And now, she can do almost do it without mommy. (Videos below are on the long side)

Swim instructor told me last week that she will probably be ready for the next swim class in 6 - 8 months. What? I don't think I will be ready to give up my mommy and me swim lessons by then. How can she be getting so big already?

But then again, toddlerhood is fun. Just look at those hugs!
