We enrolled Ellie in swimming lessons at the local YMCA. The classes are on Saturday mornings and are group classes where one or both parents participate. There are some friends from school in the class as well. Its hit or miss if Ellie will love it or hate it. The first class...hated it; the second class...loved it; the third class (this weekend)...loved it then hated it. She has learned to kick and scoop with her hands as well as blow bubbles in the water. She doesn't seem to like being on her back in the pool, but does like to jump in (with some help from me).
On Saturday (after swimming and a long nap), some parents from school had arranged a play date because we were supposed to have some nice weather. A group of us met up at the carousel on the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the kids had fun riding the horses "round and round, up and down". Then we headed over to Christopher Columbus park and let the m run around for a while. It was a little chilly, but that didn't stop them from wanting to blow bubbles or run in circles. It was a nice Saturday, even though it was overcast and a little cold for the middle of May.

SWIMMING UPDATE:
Ellie absolutely loved her third swimming lessons class. Hopefully we've turned a corner for good. She was especially excited to jump into the pool all on her own, which surprised me a bit.
