Swimming

Lily has her first swim lesson of the summer today. She has lessons Monday - Thursday this week and next. This is the level two out of four. Hopefully by the time she is done with this she will be a lot more comfortable in the water. Last year she got the hang of the kickboard. Perhaps the best thing to come out of last year's lessons was that she can now wash her hair in the tub.

Besides that Lily and Amanda are working on a schedule for how Lily is going to spend her summer days. This may seem awfully rigid, but we find that Lily does better with some structure. Otherwise she is constantly nagging Amanda for something to do. This way she will have limits on her computer time, video time, mommy reading time, etc. Of course, Noah is something of an x-factor in all of this too.
