Swimming

Rory is taking ISR swimming lessons. It is something we decided to do because Mom and Papa have a pool in their backyard and because we wanted to be able to go to the lake, beach, etc and feel somewhat safer. It's an amazing thing. You can check out the video at http://www.israustin.com/ It's been shown on the Today show as well. We go everyday for 10minutes and right now she has learned to swim on her tummy and then flip to her back to breathe. The goal is for her to then flip back over and swim and repeat swim float swim until she can get to a wall, stairs, ladder. She is doing really well as far as learning skills taking into account she cries the whole time we are there! Sometimes she'll start crying when she recognizes the streets we are driving on to get to the lesson. I'm not sure if it is a separation anxiety thing(I don't get in the pool with her) or that she's cried for so many lessons that it wouldn't be the same without crying. Maybe it's a control thing-because Rory doesn't like doing anything Rory doesn't want to do! Outside of the lessons she loves the water and pool. Here are some pictures from a weekend at Nanny and Papa's.
