Little Fishies!!!! #3

I almost forgot to blog about our afternoon of swimming on January 8th.
Tanya, Madalynn, Thatcher and myself braved the chilly weather and headed to the Memorial Sports Centre to participate in the family swim that they offer on the weekend.
First thing I have to you all, that when we walked up to the counter to pay, the girl asked "both parents are taking the kids swimming today!" Tanay and I looked at eachother and we both new what the other was thinking! I was like "yeah, I am paying for all of us" So we started our swimming afternoon off with being thought of a lesbian parents!!!!!
Madalynn is a little fish, we just put her life jacket on, and let her cruse around the pool, and go down the slide all by herslef. As for Thatcher, he made a breakthrough!!!! He is very leary of the water, and does not like to swim very much, well, he likes the idea of swimming, but he has a fear that keeps him from doing what his big sister does. But, after about an hour in the pool, he slid down the slide, and I just kind of let go, and he didn't even realize he was swimming on his own!! I was so proud of him!!!! He had a few panic attacks, but we just reassured him that he was "OK"! I grabbed a noodle and put it under both of his arms and told him to kick, and away he went!!!
Madalynn and Auntie Tanya discovered the diving board, and that was it for Madalynn. She couldn't get enough of it! Thatcher even agreed to let Auntie Tanya drop him off the diving bard!(I was ready in the water to catch him!) And Tanya was perfecting her diving skills off the diving board too!!! We all had a blast, and can't wait to do it agian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
