As many of you know, we have a personal instructor coming out to the house starting in May to give Karys private swim lessons. We figured this would be the responsible thing to do with being pool owners. We also figured that Karys would LOVE to swim and not be afraid of the pool since she loved it last summer and loves her baths and water in general.

I am now rethinking this previous assessment. While swinging in her swing, she has a complete view of the pool. This weekend, Tim and Brinks decided to go for a quick dip in the pool to cool off and we thought Karys might enjoy watching them. So while she was swinging, Brinks jumped in the pool and all of a sudden while watching him swim to the steps, Karys started crying! At first I thought - no way, she's crying for some other reason. So I asked Tim to get back in the pool and swim. Same thing - as soon as she saw Tim swimming, she started crying again. I don't know if she was just scared for them or didn't like the fact that she couldn't see their whole bodies or what.

I know after she starts her lessons, she'll love the water and be our little "fish". But it might be a bit more difficult than I originally thought to get to that point.

Anyway, I thought it was worth noting so that one day she can look back on that story and have a good chuckle!
