Swimming Lessons

My husband's parents are taking us to the beach this summer.  As excited as we are about the trip, all that water makes this momma a bit nervous.  So, we decided to enroll our girls in swimming lessons at our local YMCA.  They went once a week, and even though we signed up for the group classes, they were the only ones there.  They are learning to float on their backs and stomachs, put their faces in the water, kick, and paddle with their arms.  After the last lesson, they aren't swimming yet, but are more comfortable in the water and are much more aware of the safety rules.  I think we will try to get them into one more series of classes before we head to the beach though.

Mopping, Sleeping, and Generally Looking Cute

The other day, Ella and Emma asked if they could help me mop.  They had their toy mop and bucket all ready, but they didn't want to just pretend to mop, they wanted to really mop with water and cleaner.  They put on their princess dresses and mopped the entry way and both bathrooms.  We need to get them some real mops, so they can help every time now that they know how.
