Swimming

Elena loves to swim. Last week, she and Karen started taking swimming lessons together. She loves to play in the water, but really isn't into swimming on her own much yet. Prior to her lessons, I decided to take her to the pool to play around. I told her to get dressed for the pool and pack a bag of clothes. As you can see, she is dressed for the occasion and packed the essentials: warm fleece clothes, check. Skirt, check. Cat tail (from Halloween), check.

Our swimming trip had the desired effect: nap time!

Yesterday I watched the kids while Karen did her swimming and spinning (bike) workout at the YMCA. I walked into the exercise room to see her stripped down, holding her Cabbage Patch Doll in the exercise ball and "swimming" in the corner. She repeated the process again today.
