Cannonball!

The girls were back out in the pool this afternoon. Lolo keeps making giant steps of progress in her swimming. Today, she wanted to touch the bottom of the pool with her feet again. I suggested that when she touched the bottom with her feet that she kick really hard to come up. She agreed, took a big breath, I let go, she touched the bottom, kicked like crazy to come up....and what do you know? SHE DID IT!! I wish we had an underwater video camera. Jim and I were tickled beyond belief. She's so close to treading water....those little legs just get to moving like mad underwater. She wanted to do it over and over again.
And the swimming...my goodness, that little girl can hold her breath and "swim" (with some assistance) underwater about halfway across the pool (maybe 6 feet) in one breath. She's soooo going to be the best in her swim class when we get home.
Later, Lolo wanted to make big splashes in the pool. Jim showed her how to ball up and SPLASH! Lolo does her first cannonball! Hooray for Lolo!
