Moving up

Today was the first day of Anna's preschool level swim class which means that no parent is allowed in the pool during the lesson. I can't express to you how wonderful that is... nobody wants to see me at 35.5 weeks in a bathing suit :)

When we signed up for this session we specifically chose a class taught by the teacher she had previously. In the last few classes of last session the teacher tried to remove the parents from the pool with varying degrees of success. We figured that at least if the teacher was the same one she was used to we would have a better result. Thankfully, the month she has spent at preschool seems to have made a big impact on her ability to participate in activities without me me since her teacher was out today and we had someone new! Anna did great though, with the exception of sitting still on the top step while the teacher was working with the other kids. We need to work on that....
