There she blows!

See this ravishing beauty fresh from her 4pm swimming lesson today? Well, she did something amaaaaazing today. She covered the entire length of the pool under her own steam. From one side to the other on her back. There was a float involved (sinks like a brick without one, bless), but it's still a huge achievement. And to prove it was no mere fluke she did it on more than one occasion. Marvellous stuff.

Of course, cool as cucumber, she shrugged it all off as an everyday occurrence as I was frothing about how great she was after and how brilliant it was to see her swimming after weeks and weeks - actually, it's months and months - of sitting and watching her struggle. The one thing you can't say about out little girl is she that she lacks determination. Roll on next week's lesson...
