Late Breaking News!!!!!

Today I have has such a proud mommy moment!!! I am so excited to share that Jordan will now go under water!!!! Woo Hoo!! She has been very hesitant all summer and has been in swimming lessons the last 3 weeks. I kept trying to get her to use her friend's goggles, and try to go under, but she refused. Today Jordan finally just made the decision to do it! ( I guess this is a pattern that is forming with her-things have to be in her own time...not mine:) Yikes:(

Well, thank you Giant Grocery Store! We went this morning to get a few groceries. I decided to check their seasonal section and they had one pair of purple goggles so we got them. Spencer got some really cute ones with little sharks on them.

On the way to the pool, Jordan told me she was going to go under the water today. We got there and had to wait for her lesson because of a junior swim meet. So we hit the baby pool. We were there less than 5 minutes and she was a changed child....thanks to the magic purple goggles.

Here's how she started: Have to look in the water first.
progressing along-she figured out to hold her nose. What a proud gal-thanks magic purple goggles!! We love you!!
She is completely under the water.....huge, huge, major accomplishment!!
There's no stopping her now!!
And last but not least-swimming in the big pool!!

Jordan-you are amazing and mommy is so proud of you!!

Congrats! Emilie did that the last two weeks that we were there. She became such a fish! And now, no pools in sight. I fear that our progress may all go for naught:(
