A certain two year got her very OWN tattoo this morning after she finished her first "Big Girl" swimming class and boy was she super duper excited! {I had a rather difficult time trying to keep her still long enough to get a picture...luckily Ashton was able to capture her attention long enough for me to snap this pic!}
Last week we finished up the classes where mommy is in the water with her....yep, she has moved on to classes where she is with 3 other two year olds and she sits on the edge and waits her turn! She was the only one who didn't not cry and she couldn't figure out why every one else was.
She sat on the side on her turtle and clapped, swam and enjoyed her M&Ms that she earned for doing what Miss Sara asked her to. When it wasn't her turn to swim, she waved and high fived and thumbs upped Ashton and I through the window. She kicked her feet and splashed and only fell in once. She tried to jump in one time right at the end when Miss Sara called the parents to show us what they did today...the poor girl was so excited, but luckily I still have quick enough reflexes that I was able to stop her before she jumped in. If she to gets in the water when she isn't supposed to, Mommy will have to sit behind her during class!
When class was over and she was able to choose a sticker or a tattoo....she couldn't get the word out fast enough...there was no thought! She has been looking at Ashton's tattoo for the last few days and was beyond excited to have her own and to be just like her Big Sisser!
I am proud of how well she did and can't wait to see how she continues to progress...and hopefully she will not fall or jump in anymore!

I can just see that cute little thing turning around to wave at you two through the window!
Nothing like making a big sister proud! And getting a tattoo AND M&M's to boot? I don't blame her one bit for doing what she was supposed to do!
i seriously just smiled my way through reading that, even though i already heard this story in person! i adore that little firecracker and her spunk! that girl rocks!
