This week is all about getting Annabel from one place to the next, ideally on time. Annabel is doing both an art class and a swim class, punctuated with her regular and make-up gymnastics classes. The art class is for fun at a local place in San Mateo and we did an intensive, daily swim class (for 2 weeks) in preparation for our trip. It was really important to us to feel like she was a strong enough swimmer that we could trust her in the pool since we must have at least a pair of eyes on Josie. Obviously she won't be swimming alone but she can swim the length of the pool if need be. And after some hard work she passed the class - freestyle with side breathing and back stroke - and is ready to move on to new strokes!
Josie has been a trooper being shuffled from one activity to the next. She's gotten to spend a lot of time in the pool too during lessons and is finally putting her head underwater voluntarily, which is a big leap from where she was at the conclusion of her last swim class. It's not hard to drive from one activity to the next, but for some reason I'm exhausted.
