She’s swimming

It’s amazing.  Daniella is swimming.  This is one of those skills like reading and riding a bike, that just mystically happens.  And at times I have wondered if it would ever happen.  In the beginning of the summer, my friends and I organized a swim class for our kids.  The children tolerated it.  Within of each other, they all learned to swim.  And now that they are swimming, we can’t get them out of the water.  Watching their pure delight as they explore their new skill has been one of my favorite experiences as a parent so far.  I can’t get over how happy and proud of themselves that they are.  This is the face of little girl who just came out of the water laughing in utter joy.  “I did it, Mom!  I went under the water without crying, and I like it!”
