Swim Swam Swum

Southern California is FINALLY getting its summer!  Last week the skies were clear and the temperature soared above 80 degrees.  My friend, Robin, invited us over to her house to swim with her twin girls, Taylor and Kacee.  I didn't have to tell Kalissa twice, she was definitely in for the fun.

When we got there, I decided to get into the pool with her just to ease her nerves of being in the water.  It didn't really help and she was still really apprehensive about being in the pool...plus the water temperature was a bit cold.  Luckily, Robin also has a spa so we just moved the "swimming" into the warm waters of the jacuzzi.

The girls had a blast and Taylor and Kacee were just too cute with their fighting for a turn to teach Kalissa how to swim!  And Kalissa loved every single moment of it!

By the end of the afternoon, Kalissa trusted Kacee and Taylor as if she's known them all her life.  She was jumping into their arms, allowing them to dip her under the water and just having a great time!

Not surprisingly, I'm still listening to Kali ask "can we go to Miss Robin's house??" just about every morning! The time we've been spending in our friends' pools is definitely paying off.  She's getting much better during her swim classes and her nervousness around the water is diminishing.  Now...if only we can get her to enjoy the beach!
