swimming lessons

 The first week of summer, Heidi took swimming lessons.  Swimming is not that easy for any of the girls. All 3 are very nervous in the water.  Heidi was the only one brave enough to attempt lessons this year and I am really incredibly proud of how well she did.  She was a trooper and what I loved the most was that she was really using a lot of positive talk with herself to encourage herself to overcome her anxiety of jumping in.  She still has a long way to go, but she made huge progress and it is because of her positive attitude.  If she keeps up the positive self talk, she will be unstoppable when hard things come her way.

Way to go, Heidi!  Hopefully we will have lots of time to practice what she has learned this summer!
