First Swim Lesson, snow, and a princess cake just because - Feb 2011

Ella had her very first swim lesson today at Mount Lake Terrace Pool! I was very proud of her...except when she said that one of the other swim instructors (an older slightly heavy set lady) had a big bottom:) Ella was ever so sweet and matter of fact when she said it so it was hard not to smile. She has never said anything like that in public that might offend someone. Fortunately she didn't see the smile on my face (really mature right!) and I told her that was inappropriate. Her instructor looked a bit like a slim version of Chris Farley and was really great with joking around with the kids. His name is Roy. There were three boys and one other girl in her class. The other girls name was Lucy and I sat next to her mom who was really nice. Ella loved it as evidenced by her smiles in the pictures but afterward shared that she wished her teacher was a girl. Ella got to swim after class for free time with her friend Lucy all by herself. It was a big moment for mom to let her do it by herself. Keira played Doodlebuddy on mom's touch while she waited. Also pictured below are the annual super bowl cupcakes.
