We had a fun treat as a family tonight. The girls finished up two weeks of swim lessons and did an incredible job. They got most of the new skills the first time but for the ones they didn’t, they had a good attitude, worked hard, and eventually did all of them. Great life lessons for my girls. They both advanced to the next level. The giant part of the day was Em, who can be a little timid at times, took a huge step. In her class, the instructors did the test at the end of the two weeks to see who could advance to the next level. They chose the kids who they thought were ready. Em was not one of them. When they finished with the hand picked kids, the instructors were asking themselves, ‘is that everybody?’ When Em heard that, she spoke up and said, "I haven’t done it, yet!" She then preceded straight into the pool, did each skill just as she was supposed to, mastered the test and advanced. And she was a year to year and half younger than the rest of the kids in her class, too. Way to go, Em! Way to be courageous and confident.
So, to celebrate the girls we had ice cream for dinner. Thanks to a gift card we loaded up and headed for Baskin Robbins to yes, eat ice cream and only ice cream for dinner. Bman, with his blue mouth, and the girls I think liked…they loved it. You should try it some time!
