Evangeline is back at swim class for one more week. My goodness, she has become quite the little swimmer! One day this week, to all of our surprise, she swam the whole width of the pool by herself! Ben, her swim teacher, kept backing up as she swam to him and before she knew it, there she was at the other side! We were all in shock. Ben said he was going to need to think up some new things for her to do now that she can swim. They've been working on diving and swimming underwater for a diving stick. She grabbed the stick twice today! She also has started jumping off the board without a floatie and then swimming to the ladder by herself. You can sure see a look of confidence in her face jumping off the diving board compared to the pictures I posted in my former entry. I'm just so proud of her. It also cracks me up to hear her talking Ben's head off during her class. I've heard her tell him all sorts of things...."My daddy has the loudest sneeze", "Sydney peed in the pool at the pool party yesterday"......
After swim class Tuesday Evangeline and I met my friends and mom's for lunch at a café in Sullivan, IN for a sort-of-surprise baby shower. I was so touched. We had such a wonderful time. I think it's definitely safe to say we now have everything we need for our little guy.
