Fish in training

We spent a few pre-storm hours on Sunday at our friends' backyard pool, and you will not BELIEVE what Lexi did. It's particularly amazing considering that when we first got in, she wouldn't let me let go of her. An hour later -- this.

Of course, the life jacket is a bit of an issue because she does not understand now that she can sink without it. When I told her we'd better get her in swimming lessons, she said, "Mom, I don't need them. I already know how to swim."

Jitterbug

Lexi had a big moment in her life on Sunday. It was her first (but as you'll soon see, clearly not her last) time performing on a stage.

The show was put on by Jitterbugs, a little dance class they offer at pre-school. I was a little worried she'd be too shy and refuse to go on, but it was quite the opposite. Lex was the front-n-center star of the show.

After this lethal Kung-Fu fighting kick, I'm not sure whether to enroll her in ballet or karate.



Mommy will be talking to Lexi soon about her feelings on cheerleading.
