While we were in NJ, Ella spent a lot of time in the pool. At the Leonia pool, Ella played most of the time in the kiddie pool. At papa’s club, Ella hung out in the kiddie pool and then really started to love the big pool. By the end of July, Ella took 2 swimming lessons and was taking some risks, but really did not want to put her head under water. Ella built up a lot of confidence over the past month and all of her hard work finally paid off. The video at the end of this entry shows Ella “swimming” at the pool that we go to. Grandma and papa – you will be so proud when you watch this video. Now we need to get her lessons so she can really learn how to swim. Sunny’s sister Cindy came in tonight and we had a great dinner at Nama and then we came back here and Cindy read some books to Ella. The books were “Angelina Ballerina” books and Ella and aunt Cindy acted out some of the dance moves.

Here’s the swimming video…
WOW! I am so proud of Ella. Please give her a big kiss and hug from me and tell her I can’t wait to get in the pool and swim with her. Laur, thanks for coing the blog. I miss you. Love you. Mom
