Peanut is doing awesome with swim lessons - last week she dove in from a standing position for the first time on her own, unprompted. The instructor had four kids in her class, Peanut was by far the most advanced, and was asking the kids to jump in. While she was trying to coax one little boy who was scared to jump in, Peanut just put her hands in streamline and went for the dive! I think everyone at the pool was amazed - she had just practiced a seated dive the week before and figured things out on her own and did it. So so proud :). It usually takes kids a long time to get over the fear of diving and she just went with it.
This week she made huge strides again. Due to the huge difference in ability the week before, they rearranged classes and Peanut got a private lesson this week. In a span of two minutes, she learned how to do the breaststroke kick. AWESOME! So proud of my kiddo and so glad that she loves the water!

Side Note -
Last night I asked Peanut what her favorite activity was (preschool, gymnastics, dance, swimming) and she did not hesitate for one second before saying dance class. I'm so glad it's living up to her excitement before we started!
