Madam butterfly

Sometimes the little things they do fill you with so much love. We had our last swimming lesson of the term today. Charlotte loves being in the pool. She splashes when she's supposed to, and kicks her legs, and goes under the water like a pro. I was amazed at the very first lesson when they put the babies under the water. But most of the babies in the class don't have any problems with it at all.
So today we were doing humpty dumpty sat on the wall. At the falling part, you let them fall into the water from the side, come up, and swim back to the side. Charlotte did a big faceplant splash into the water, then came up with the biggest grin. She makes a little grunting noise when she is happy so she was doing that, then kept moving her arms like she was doing the butterfly. It was very cute, and even had the teacher laughing at her. Hopefully she will continue to like the water and might even become a champion swimmer! She got a sticker today for being such a great swimmer (all the kids get one), and I felt so proud of my little baby girl. I was even happier that she fell asleep in the car on the way home and slept for an hour and a half!
