My Incredibly Brave Girls (part 2)

Ok, so at the end of the last swimming season, Maddie seemed fearless in the water and was swimming with no jacket. However, we've been in the pool since April and she has decided to wear her swim jacket or a floaty every time. For the last few weeks, she's been slowing working out of a floatation device, until Saturday when she was back to swimming from side to side all on her own! She is very proud of herself and I am too! She's getting so big!

We bought this huge turtle at the store the other day and the girls have loved it ever since! Not only do they have fun on it, but it's another good way for Abigail to help Maddie and take care of her, and it's helping Maddie be more courageous in the water. She has fallen off of the turtle before and has had to figure out how to swim to the side! Who knew a turtle could be such great training!? :-)
