Ella the Mermaid

Ella has become quite the fish ( or as she says, "mermaid") this summer. We spent a few hours at the town pool almost every day of the summer. While we started out the summer mostly in the kiddie pool, we progressed quickly to spending time in the "big" pool. A week with friends ( Noe and Hannah) who could already swim quite well gave Ella the little boost she needed to become more confident in the water. She also took 2 weeks of swim lessons which also helped her tremendously. She went from not putting her face in the water at the beginning of the summer to jumping off the diving board into 12 feet of water and swimming to the side all on her own! Way to go, Ella!
