We did it.

Survival swim lessons are OVER.

Every day, for the past 6 weeks -- Alexandra has screamed her way through her 10-minute lessons, but that girl can sure FLOAT!!

I feel SO much better, and the instructor Suzi Tayor was amazing... so patient, soft-spoken ... and no doubt suffering from hearing loss after dealing with my daughter, lol... oy, man.

Yesterday, Alexandra had her final test - flipping from her tummy to her back, while wearing winter clothes: shirt, pants, socks, shoes and a coat!

She did great the lesson prior, in her summer clothes - open-toed shoes with shorts and a lightweight t-shirt ... but i thought for sure she'd start to sink once her coat filled with water.

Nope.

You could see Alex adjusting to her new body weight, and it was actually a relief to hear her screaming while on her back -- she could breathe!

The think i'll remember most about the 6-week lessons -- Ms. Suzi said because of all the screaming, Alex would likely burp alot the rest of the afternoon.

Alex never burped.  It would always come out the other end.... alll ....day.... looooong.  HAHAHA!

When she gets older, Alex will either hate me or love me for those lessons.

Maybe i won't tell her about the farting. lol!
