A fish named Kaylin?

What? A fish named kaylin? You must mean Alyssa, Kaylin is deathly afraid of the water. Well that is what I thought too until SWIMMING LESSONS started this year. I thought here we go again her sitting on the side being terrified, but not so much. If you remember last year Kaylin didn't even get in the big pool until the last day and that was with a death grip. This year she has totally transformed into a fish. She has become totally brave in the water; she goes down the steps, under water, and floats not only on her back but on her stomach also.

The following video may be shocking to some of you who know kaylin but for me it makes me so proud of her and how brave she is becoming.

She is swimming! Granted she didn't go anywhere and the water was only 1ft., but she is SWIMMING!!! She was under water and she was kicking and doing her arms and I could not have been more proud. Something like this would have never happened last summer. She has really improved and is learning to swim. I am so proud of her for being brave and for trusting her teacher, and of my self for sticking with this and for doing one more year. Go Kaylin! Go Mommy!
Alyssa is doing really great to. Ironically she is a little timid in the water and some what apprehensive, totally didn't see that coming. But nontheless, she is trying and is being brave in her own way.
