Believe it or not, this is a photo of Jillian swimming with her face in the water!
A couple days ago, Daddy made a deal with Jillian that if she put her head underwater every time her swim teachers asked her to, then she could get a Glow Pet (something she's been wanting for a long time). Jillian was very excited about this, and couldn't wait to get to the pool and start going underwater ... she explained to us many times exactly how she was going to do it, and then practiced doing it at home. At swimming lessons, as soon as she was in the pool, she plugged her nose and closed her eyes and went under about half-way. Daddy told her how far she went under, so she tried again, going a little farther. This continued throughout the lesson until the end, when she put her head all the way under. Jillian was shaking from excitement about doing this. She ended up picking out a penguin Flashlight Pet. When we got home, she said that going underwater wasn't so bad.
Now, just a couple days later, Jillian is going wild about going underwater. She doesn't even bother plugging her nose, and she doesn't even think twice about getting water in her eyes. What a change! Her swim teachers are thrilled, and now Jillian wants us to watch her do all sorts of underwater tricks. This photo was taken at Rielee's pool, and after just a short time in it, she took off her water wings so she could go underwater easier. She was having so much fun getting her face in the water, she didn't want to stop.
