The month of June is all about swimming these days. First, because given the recent temperatures it is one of the only ways to stay cool. Second, because Ellery has been doing swim team.
Here she is goggles on, ready to dive in.
There have been challenges. Swim practice is every day at 9:30AM for 30 minutes. Making that takes quite a bit of motivation from child and mother. Some days, she is excited to get into the pool....other days I feel like I am bribing her just to get her swimsuit on.

A few weeks ago, she had her first swim meet. We were all a bit anxious. Was she really willing to "dive" in and race across the pool? Would she make it across? She was swimming freestyle and backstroke -- does she even know backstroke?
It turns out our worries were pretty unfounded. She did a great job and walked away with a ribbon and a necklace (what more could a 4 year old want?)
P.S. - check out the red nail polish.....it is important to swim in style ladies!
