When will a mother let a stranger dunk her small child underwater?
When will a mother simply look away as her baby sputters and splatters in the pool?
Swimming lessons.
Amelia's very first swimming lessons. Painful for mama and scary for her. Not a whole lot of fun to be had this time around.
But she's learning. And I know she'll be safer around the water.
It's all about the big picture, right?
Sigh.
(Mama's note: I wrote this post after day #2 of lessons. I am happy to report that lesson days #3 and #4 have shown a lot of improvement! My heart is healing a little.)

That picture is pure cuteness! Glad the lessons were better after a couple days. I can't wait to see how this goes for us next year :)
You are doing the good thing. When we got a pool, I made sure all my kids learned to swim. By age 2-3, they were swimming and it made me breathe a little easier.
