This weekend marked the end for: 1). Swimming Lessons & 2). Awana...at least for a few months...
I was so proud of Hailey for finishing her swimming lessons, even though she did not want to. She will definitely have to take the beginners class again soon to become more comfortable in the water. But overall, she did well...through all the tears, she finally jumped in, blew bubbles in the water(or as she says, "Mom! I blew my nose in the water!") and swam with her backpack float. And of course, on the last day, she decided to go under in the kiddie pool...but only once, that was enough! She actually said she was proud of herself...that's all that matters.
Even Lindsey showed her brave bone and went under too...well, accidentally, but she came up without coughing. Just a little freightened look, which quickly turned into a smile. She is fearless!
Sunday, May 6, 2012: Awana ended with a cookout and an awards ceremony....
Lindsey kept giving all of her hugs away and enjoyed being held bystrangers nice strangers & of course, Mrs. Penny. We will miss Mrs. Penny...looking forward to September(when awana starts again...Hailey will move up to Sparks & Lindsey will be old enough to be a Puggle!)
Hailey was excited when she realized that she would get an award tonight!...but mine was a total surprise!! Yes, I received a 'Awana Helper' pin and a $5 Kroger gift card & Hailey received a little Cubbie Bear, her Diploma & the book that she completed, extra awana bucks & a patch for her vest.
And of course we couldn't leave without taking pictures with Mrs. Penny and the gang....
(The Regulars ~ Landon, Carly, Mrs. Penny & Hailey)
Wow...what are we going to do with extra time? A little R & R sounds nice...so what's better than a little DIY mani & pedi with my girl. Although you almost can't tell who's foot is who's since she keeps growing...way too fast! (Hailey has the purple toe ring & mine is the green butterfly)
