What Have The Twin Terrors Been Up To Lately...

Well, they have mostly been focusing their energy(s) on swimming lessons. Today, Emma graduated from the swimming program! She has only been in the program for four weeks and has had to do a variety of swimming teqchniques, including swimming in a big winter jacket, pants, soggy pull-up and shoes & socks. But, she has been able to master it all. Nothing phases this kid. She loves swimming and is such a little fish. My favorite part about her is that she always has a smile on her face no matter what.
..Which is something her big sister Tian could do.. maybe once in awhile. Poor thing still starts screaming the moment she sees the swim teacher's car, and doesn't stop 'til she's done with the lesson. Even when Emma goes first, Tian is still screaming! She is doing very well in swimming lessons too. It's tougher for her since she's only been here 2 1/2 months, so she will probably be graduating next week from swim classes. She is not at all a fan of swimming and will happily watch us play in the pool and swim, but she wants nothing to do with it! We'll give her time, I'm sure she'll come around.

That's Tian swimming

Don't let this face fool you!! I made her stop crying-as she waited for her turn at swimming lessons-and made her smile for the camera. She stopped screaming for a few seconds, and then was back at it!

Miss Smiley

There she goes (Emma)

WHEW!! Swimming lessons are over! I can smile now.

See, she's perfectly happy sitting by the pool and watching us swim.

That's Tian swimming!

"Ugh.. swimming lessons."

"I get Cinderella stickers for swimming!"
