Svim Svim Svim

Photos from our swimming lessons, courtesy of my mother (who wants me to add the disclaimer that she was using an unfamiliar camera with a longer lag time than she's used to ... which doesn't explain how she STILL manages to cut off the top of my head, despite having a digital display that shows exactly what will - or won't - be in the final shot)

Here she is, chasing around a toy, valiantly flailing away with her arms in an attempt to swim:

And here she is, ready for our pool noodle horsey race across the pool:

She's a champion at edging her way into the pool from a sitting postion:

And she was really jealous of the hang time the older kids on either side of her were getting, so we tried jumping in ... kinda hard when you can't stand on your own yet, but we gave it a shot:

Looking way too happy about having just been dunked completely underwater by Evil Mama:

Proof of my status as Evil Mama - attempted cannibalism:

There will be video available in a day or two of the in-pool Hokie Poky, sure to rise to the top of the "most requested" list on Google video ... or, not. Only two more lessons, then we take a break for a few weeks and Jason gets his turn in the pool with Liza in July. I can't wait to hear how he handles showering in the locker room afterwards ...
