Preface - I changed the layout of the blog becuase I was having trouble embedding these videos. The way it was before constricted the dimensions of the video frame and I was losing the edges of the video. It's still super simple. I was almost inspired to go design a pretty header with some favorite pictures and maybe even a background. I should probably stop playing and get some actual work done now. We'll see.
This is Charlotte at the pool yesterday. Both girls have really turned a corner on swimming this summer. Grace still uses arm floaties and Charlotte swims with no real form to speak of, but 6 months ago neither one wanted to put their eyes under water so this is major progress.
Techincal note - I took these with my iPhone which has surprisingly nice video quality. I think the major compression here happened when I uploaded the video to YouTube directly from my phone instead of downloading to my computer first. Anyway, that little pink blob is my daughter :)
Charlotte was watching some older boys try to learn to dive off the side. I wasn't paying attention to her efforts. This one honestly surprised me. Again, no real form at all, but she goes pretty deep.
Jumping off the diving board. This is her cannonball.
This is the running approach at Gracie's request. You can hear her "asking" (read: whining) for it in the previous video.
And here is one of Gracie. She both stars in and directs videos of her. When she says, "you got to move it!" she means that I need to move the cmaera so I don't miss her splash. What did I ever do without a 5 year old to boss me around?
