What a difference a year makes (check out the pic below). Last year we took the mommy/daddy and me swimming classes and Allie loved them. She is very comfortable in the water and loves to swim so we thought we would enroll her in a private lesson this year. I was not so sure about handing her over to a teacher on the first day but she did great. We talked about it a few days prior to her lesson and she was excited to meet her teacher. When Allie met Maddie she said "Hi Maddie, mine Allison". Then I handed her over and they were a great team. Allie did awesome with her first week of lessons so I signed her up for the next session. On our way to swimming lessons she says "Mine exciting to see Maddie" and is very excited "exciting" to see her! It is fun to see all of her new skills...she is getting so big and is very proud of herself! Our little tadpole is now a turtle.
