Today is the first day of Sydney’s swim lessons. Will she sink like a rock or swim like a fish? If any past experience with water is a guide, she’ll swim like a fish. Our previous apartment had a pool, and she enjoyed playing and splashing in the water. 
On a trip to Palm Springs last summer, pictured right, she was excited about the water, quickly adjusted to the crowded pool and didn’t want to leave. Granted she was five months old then and didn’t have the diva attitude she does now.
I don’t know of a kid who doesn’t like to spend a day in the pool. Renee must have been part mermaid as a child, because her parents always had to fight with her to get out of the pool when it was time to leave. Hopefully some of those genes got passed along to Syd.
Wish us luck.
