Kinder & swimming

Isabella had her interview / orientation at her new kindergarten yesterday. As suspected she absolutely loved it. Her new teachers are lovely and Isabella showed a lot of confidence. I think attending 3yo kinder for 5 hours a week last year will make this transition to 'big girl' kinder a lot easier. She does 10 hours a week now (mon & tue morning and wed afternoon). She is also attending with a few friends from her old kinder and playgroup. She spends a lot of time at the children's center now with 3 days at kinder and one day at playgroup.

Today it was back to swimming lessons. Isabella was busting to start back again and had learnt a lot more skills over the holidays. It really helped that she copied her friend Matilda swimming when we were away or playing in her pool over the holidays. She is an excellent swimmer so Isabella was following her lead. Her teacher was very impressed :) Alexandra started lessons today for the first time. Even though she has great water skills I thought it only fair that she had lessons. Alex loves swimming by herself and going under the water swimming back and forth to people. I am not sure what to do now as she is miles ahead of the other children in her class who aren't even going under the water yet. I will give it another few weeks and see how it goes. It might be worth while just taking Alex in for a 'play' and let her progress on her own. Isabella is desperate to start dancing lessons this year so we might stop swimming for a while. Just not sure yet! decisions decisions! Oh and I have to start looking at SCHOOLS soon! Arghhh.... when did I become a grown up??
