Water Girl

I think it is safe to say that Hailey loves water.  She has been flourishing at swim lessons.  She can swim the length of the pool doing the crawl stroke with elongated side breathing (she totally gets it but hasn't mastered the quick breath yet), length of the pool doing backstroke, length of the pool on her back doing the frog legs? (chicken airplane soldier?), she can do breaststroke for half the pool,  and is just learning the butterfly stroke.  When she is done with all that she loves to play in the little pool or sit in the hot tub and warm up.  After much coersion getting her out of the pool and into the shower, she can stand in the shower for ages.  To top it off, it is not unheard of for her to request a bath when we get home (yes, after the pool and shower) where she will play for another 45 minutes.  She plays with bath toys, holds her breath underwater, pours, etc.   She is happy as can be.  Oh and on days she doesn't have swimming and showers she still LOVES her baths, the longer the better. 



Hard to believe she fills up the whole tub ehad to toe already
