Rainbow Fish

A lot of heavy praying this weekend and today for this start of the 2nd week of swim lessons. And, God answered! It was not as easy taking Nicole this week since Woody was working. Also, Natalie still isn't thrilled about going. And, she did start out the same today--after pottying right before we left home and asking at least 3 times, she waited until it started until she had to go potty. When I dropped her back off at the teacher I heard the teacher mention they were going into the deep end today. I started praying for her then! It didn't help that all the other kids except Emma were crying for Mommy. But, Natalie was having a good time and did really well swimming and putting her face in the water. She looked like she might chicken out when it came to walking down to the diving platform. I walked down there with Nicole to be a cheerleader. I'm sure I looked like major helicopter mom to most of the other parents, but it is the best thing to do with Natalie. I know other parents know their kids best. Natalie did great. A lot of the other kids had to be dropped in the water, but she jumped and swam well---twice! What a great start to the week!!

Oh, she was a rainbow fish not because she gave away anything like the story, but she had a rainbow swimsuit on that her grandparents gave her. So cute!
