Little swimmer

We have a little swimmer!  Caroline has loved being in the water for the past two summers but has never been a fan of getting her face wet....which is kind of a problem if you are ever going to be a swimmer.  We heard about this lady who lives in Canton, GA, 45 minutes north of here that could teach the kids to swim in 1 week (3, 45 minute lessons).  Sign me up...literally...because of Caroline's age a parent had to take the class with her.  We missed the first day because of rain.  :-(  The first 15 minutes of the second day of class was a true nightmare.  Caroline was screaming and hysterical, kicking, fighting and crying for 15 minutes.  I would tell give her lots of positive encouragement and then count to 3 and put her under.  At one point I said "Remember your Bible verse, 'I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.'"  She flexed her arm when I said it so I knew she was still hanging with me through her tears.  It was just a couple of minutes later that it was like a magic switch.  All of a sudden there was a sparkle in her eye that said "I just swam under water and it wasn't that bad."  Then she couldn't stop.  She kept asking me, "Can I go under water again?"  Now she's a little fish and loves it!!  She is so proud of herself and keeps asking me the funniest things..."Mom was that super good?!"  YES!  We are so proud of her!!
