If I hadn't been in the water myself...

...I would have taken a picture of the kids during their first swim lesson at Starfish!

They both had such a great time. I was indeed nervous about Sophia but she was great. Happy as can be and I believe secretly excited all along...perhaps a smidge cautious until she knew what she was getting into with this swim lesson.

In my quest for a 'no tears' lesson, I promised them (specifically Sophia) lunch at the Cherry Cricket. She was so proud, I even overheard her tell her teacher where she was going for lunch.

I am sure it helped that I was in the water with Henry. He did great as well!  A bit hesitant but understandable...even went under water 3 times, go Henry! After those few times though he would wave his hand in front of his face, furrow his eyebrows and say, 'noooo face...'. No more water in your face little man...until next week that is! ;)

I was so proud of my kiddies...we celebrated a successful day with lunch at the Cricket as promised and some yogurt/ice cream at Yogurt Guru, another fam fave...
