To swim or not swim

I haven't posted in a while.  I haven't had anything to post about really.  It's been much of the same old, same old.

Things have gotten a bit more interesting the past week or two.  We kind of mostly adopted a stray cat.  It lives outside our house, we feed it, pet it, play with it.  A post about that will come later.  He will officially be adopted after he gets fixed and all of his shots.

Natalie also started swim class.  Natalie doesn't like water.  It's been going pretty well.  She has been hesitant and normally will come around given time.  Until she met the noodle.  The noodle was a disaster.  She just didn't understand it would keep her afloat.  None of the kids did.  And they all kind of kept bobbing under the water anyways...so perhaps the instructor was a little too optimistic about how handing a three year old a noodle would work out?  The instructor eventually brought out a second noodle for each kid, but for Natalie, it was too little too late.  Fear had set in.

Here are her pictures from swimming.  She only took half of the class, we had other commitments in the wah of the second half.  I enrolled her to repeat the class.  Hopefully the first week of repeating what she learned will help give some confidence back before she meets the noodle again.
