This has been a long winter. A very, very long winter. With far too many days when it was cold enough outside that Sadie didn't want to go outside to play. This led to way, way too much pent up energy. This pent up energy caused all sorts of problems with the mischief and the yelling and the 3 yr old attitude. Everybody's sanity was at stake. So Sadie took up swimming.
Mondays and Wednesdays she took lessons and then spent an hour or 2 playing in the pool. The lucky thing is that we killed 3 birds with one stone. Sadie is now more comfortable in the water, she got to use up a small portion of that never-ending energy and we saved mom's sanity.
She learned to blow bubbles and put her head under the water, enter, exit and recover, and a bunch of different strokes. She is working on floating front and back, coordinated hand and foot movement, and gliding underwater.
