Infant Swim Resource - Katie

Katie is taking ISR swim classes. ISR is Infant Swim Resource. Not your typical swimming lessons. These teach young children how to survive if they were to fall into a pool or other body of water. Watch the video below and
see what she is learning how to do.

This video is not associated with our particular instructor but shows what skills are learned if they were to fall into a pool. It is agonizing to watch but I would so much rather see a child like this than the alternative. It is amazing to watch them as they are learning this and how instinct takes over to help them survive. The absolutely worst thing you can have a young child do is wear floaties in the pool. This conditions them to hold their heads at angles that will cause them more harm should they fall into a pool. We didn't know this and had Katie wearing them. You could instantly tell the difference and the problems the floaties causes.

If you are in the East Orlando area and are interested in this program, please call my friend Heidi Burnett or visit her website at: http://www.teachnkids2swim.com/ or visit www.infantswim.com to find an instructor in your State or area.

My First Pedicure!

My! What cute toes you have! Today Taylor wanted her fingernails and toes painted and guess what? So did Katie. She still sucks on her fingers so no manicure for her but she LOVED getting her toes painted.

When we went to Sanibel, Taylor and I both got anklets and Katie noticing that started to wear her ponytail holder around her ankle - too funny. So being the great sister that she is Taylor went and bought Katie an anklet at the beach - with her own money even! Katie loves it.
