Ryley swimming and playing with her toys.
Ryley has gotten really comfortable in the water. She is actually swimming on her own (well...maybe as good as a 4 yeard old can)!! We think she may finally understand the basic technique of swimming...take a deep breath, move your hands and feet at the SAME time! She LOVES LOVES LOVES the water. She swims in the morning (if she's not in summer school), in the afternoon, and in the evening. Ryley is no longer taking swim lessons at the Y (at least until the summer crowd goes back to school), she has decided to trade it in for ballet and tap combo which starts July 7th. This class is for 4-8 year olds. She will be one of the smaller ones in the class, we'll see how she does. She is so excited, it's tooooo cute!
We also signed her up for the reading club at our local library. We just read her first book for the club...Little Brown Bear Won't Take a Nap, by Jane Dyer! This is such a great way to get kids excited about reading but also a great way to teach them more about the library.
At the library Ryley was given a bug tag with her name to place on the wall, they gave her a picture to color and bring back (which she did as soon as we came home) and the best part is that they will earn a prize for reading books. Check your local library, because ours gave her a free ticket to Legoland which doesn't expire until 4/30/09 just for signing up!
Hope you all have a great summer!

Oh My Gosh Es, I can't believe she swims SO well at 4!! She's a total fish. Did you teach her?? Very cute video.
BTW how do you set up a slideshow with your own photos? I really like yours. I tried and they only were showing me options to pick sample slideshows or something.
