some videos

here are a couple of older videos of the girls that i've forgotten to post...

so addison started swim lessons earlier this year. she had taken lesson before in the past, but they were not very good. the teachers were high school students and they taught super slow. she barely progressed. but we signed up at goldfish swim school, which is known around here for being really good. we signed up and she was excited to start. but she had some trouble at the beginning. she had a pretty big fear of putting her head under the water and cried during lessons. it was hard to watch. but after much practicing at home in the bathtub to conquer her fear of putting her head in the water, she has made huge strides in a matter of 3 weeks. i'm really proud of her for being so persistent and practicing so hard. she's a determined one, that addie.

this video was the first time that i really noticed her swimming!




and this is a little clip of ellie at gymnastics. i never signed addison up for gymnastics when she was younger. addison was a little more fearful when it came to things like that. she could barely go down a slide until she was about 4! but we noticed ellie really enjoying jumping, climbing, sliding, etc. so we thought gymanstics would be right up her alley.
