Sadie has a completely different approach to swimming. She prefers to keep her head under the water and her arms back. She's afraid to get started but once she does, you can't stop her! She has to do it all herself. Since they can touch the bottom in the shallow end I let them both go on their own and practice. (With my supervision of course)
Sometimes I forget that just because they are walking, talking, feeding themselves going to the bathroom themselves, doesn't mean they are done learning new and exciting things. Everyday I'm amazed at how grown up they are becoming. Today I was completely shocked by Grace asking for something she wanted in a normal (not whinny) tone with a please at the end. She's barely 3! Sadie has a long way to go before she learns that asking nicely for something gets her what she wants a lot quicker.
I wish I could explain how odd it is to have two kids the same age with the same up bringing be so completely different. And they were born the way they are today. Grace being so easy except for sleeping, and Sadie being so hard except for sleeping. They are about to turn 3 and I can't believe how time flies!

Seriously my kids are so different from one to another and I imagine it seems even crazier with twins. As for the swimming I am jealous although my kids are doing way better this year because I got a season pool pass.
