At the beginning of the summer, Ashlee would not even get her face wet. If water splashed on it, she'd freak and immediately yell for a towel. She had NO desire to go under water, jump in the pool or anything that would come close to getting her face wet.
After a summer of pool fun, my little pumpkin is officially a FISH! She LOVES jumping in the pool (see video above), putting her head under water (in the bathtub too), and swimming around WITHOUT goggles! She still plugs her nose, but she is getting better at holding her breath all the time. I am so proud of my peanut and how she is overcoming her "fear" of being underwater. At the beginning of the summer I told her I was not going to put her in swim lessons until she would get her face wet. The other day at the pool she said to me, "Mommy, I'm ready for swim lessons now!" It amazes me how that selective remembering works! :)
