Lexi is in swim lessons. The lessons are everyday Monday through Thursday for two weeks. Today is ONLY day 3. I say ONLY because it is not much fun for her, or me. Over the past 3 days we have worked on kicking, extending arms, blowing bubbles, and going under. Lexi will float in my arms without kicking a leg, keep her arms to herself, and refuses to blow bubbles. She simply does not want to exert any energy. Today was the first day to go under water. I could not dip her first. One of the instructors did it the first time for me. I was the only mom who couldn't do it! Lexi went to the instructor, went under for a second, and did great! We practiced two more times. She did not cry, but she did seem a little confused as to why we put her under. By the end of the lesson she was climbing up my body and asking over and over to get out. I hope today didn't scared her too much. We'll see what tomorrow holds!
Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
