Confidence

Although she swam in the pool during vacation, and did attempt to swim without her floaties, Audrey still wasn't confident enough.

We went to the county park pool, where she is NOT allowed to wear floaties. She was forced to stay in the shallow end, unless she wanted to try swimming on her own. It took her watching one friend, to realize it was something she could do ALL BY HERSELF. Sure enough, it was all the encouragement she needed. She swam!
(sadly, I didn't have the camera with me, as I was IN the pool, but I'm sure we'll have more opportunities for capturing the moment when we have our 'official photographer' with us...aka...daddy)

What a great accomplishment!

I'm so proud of you, Audrey.
