Unexpected Thrills
While there are many opportunities as a Dad to be proud of some acheivement by your progeny, it’s the ones that you weren’t anticipating that are the most exciting. We have attended a weekly swimming class at The Connection in Summit for about a year now. And Leda has seemed to enjoy the time in the water with us. But today, Leda swam on her own for the first time.
She had her arms over a noodle (long cylindrical floatation device) and we usually hold her so she can practice using her arms. Today, the instructor had us see if the kids could balance themselves. I think we were the only parents to try it, but there was Leda floating and balancing on her own with us at least a foot away. We only had to remind her (often) to keep her head up. But it was really exciting. Also, our teacher informed us that we were on the cover of the next class schedule. We didn’t even realize that our picture had been taken, but it’s good to see that at least we look like we’re having fun.
