Yippee -- Anna likes to go underwater!

Yesterday in the lake, Anna timidly got her face wet, all on her own (HUGE breakthrough; I'll explain later), and we got all excited about it. Before we knew it, she was swimming, underwater, between me and my mom, as we kept getting further and further apart! She was ASKING if she could get her face wet again, and swim underwater, over and over! Normally, at swimming lessons, she chooses to just be thrown in, in order to avoid bobs (dipping her head in the water at the side of the pool, in and out, 5x, and the beginning of each lesson). She had never even done a single bob before in the pool! She was so excited for "swim camp" this week and when I mentioned it to her this morning she was still excited about it, saying Miss Brianne (her instructor) was going to be so impressed and that she wanted to do 15 or 19 bobs, and swim underwater in the deep end! She said she keeps her eyes closed so they don't get wet, but "it's kinda cool with my eyes open because I can see all around under the water :)" She has been progressing really well all winter with her lessons, swim/treading water all over the deep end on her own, but still avoiding getting her head wet at all costs. So this is SOOOO exciting!!! We are so proud of her! The picture is actually from her second lesson as an underwater swimmer -- she wanted to try goggles since her eyes were stinging from all the chlorine, and they worked out really well!
