Alexis seemed to love learning how to not only float, but kick on her back without sinking. This made her day. I'd start her out, then she would roll over on her back and kick with a big smile on her face. If her legs started to sink, I would yell, "Get your toes up! Make little splashes! Point your toes like a ballerina!" She was awesome. By the end, she didn't even need my help to start on her back!

Aydan and I spent the first few minutes on the steps where she could stand, blowing bubbles, pouring water over our heads on a cue, and getting our chins, mouth, ears and noses wet. The one-on-one time with her was amazing and just what she needed.
