A Promise Is A Promise

Last year I promised Lauren that when she learned to swim I'd take her out to lunch and to Build-A-Bear. I was hoping that would be motivation to learn immediately but that was not the case. She did, however, learn to swim two weeks ago and she if off like a little fish! She is very proud of herself and I am very happy too. I am relieved to have five safe swimmers this summer!



















































At first, I tried to talk Lauren out of the yellow chick. I was thinking of a more bearish Build-A-Bear but then I remembered that this was not about me and my box. :) It's about what Lauren wants!! I encouraged her to take a few more minutes to look around and she settled back at the bright yellow chick.

I'm so glad she picked the chick.

Isn't she adorable?

And bright!











































I thought the swim gear was darling and Lauren agreed!

LOOK AT THE GOGGLES!










































Congratulations Lauren Paige!

I'm so proud of you.
