I finally took Alie swimming today. She had a blast. She has become better in the water, holding her breath and such. She even jumped into the water, into my arms. She hasn't taken swim lessons since last spring, but surprisingly, she remembers some of it.

We also embellished one of her swim suits. It was a plain lavender with a skirt. No decoration, no design... just blah boring. She hated it because it was so boring. It also fit her poorly. The straps crossed in the back, but were way too long, so it showed her nipples. So to fix that problem, I cut the straps and made it be able to tie into a halter. For the embellishments, I had her choose the flowers to go on the suit and an iron on. She chose matching lavendar flowers and purple irridecent butterflies. I sewed the butterflies on insted of iron, so that way the wings would be loose, like fluttering. The suit turned out really pretty and she now loves it! Once I get some batteries for my camera, I'll post a pic.
