Ella the Mermaid!

Ella will be starting swim lessons in the near future but for now she decided to teach herself! We have been going to the pool every afternoon to meet some kids. They are Matthew 7 and Caleb 4 and they are fearless in the water. Ella would watch them & still be nervous about the water. She wouldn't put her head under. She was just nervous about the whole deal. Then one day she was super excited because she put her head under. Then she was excited when she touched the bottom with her hand. Then she started kicking. Then moving her arms and before we knew it, she is swimming. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. Has she improved since I recorded this? Yep. So we are very proud of her & really look forward to her lessons now!
