No
swimming news. Instead: rainbows,

a couple of drawings of me holding a baby doll and a shoe,


and three strawberries picked this morning.

Have a good weekend.
more
smocks. I changed the width of the binding on these which made it easier to sew around the armholes. I also think it has a neater more finished look (the pink/red one has the wider binding)

M. did not get her shoulder wet.
M. did go one step lower into the water (for 20 sec.) + let the teacher hold her while picking out a toy + held on to the teacher for dear life while enduring one round of ring-around-the-rosie.
we’ll work on the shoulder tomorrow.


Thank you H&M,
for M’s new favorite accessory.



(M. told me when to take the picture for each of these shots)

-M. got the lower half of her body wet. Apparently she’s all done with swimming classes.

-post swim was pretty great though (Mom’s favorite part too) Very important swim bag sewn last night.
