Lucy's new skills!

This has been quite a month for Lucy in the skills department! After a month of swim lessons, a few weeks ago she finally got the hang of swimming underwater, and now I can hardly get her out of the lake. Here's a video of her swimming.


Sometime in July, Lucy asked if I would start teaching her piano. We ordered some beginner piano books, and she's been learning notes, rhythm, etc. We visited my grandparents almost every day during swim lessons, so she had lots of opportunities to practice on their piano. Here she is playing a song!


And most recently (today!), Lucy learned to ride her bike without training wheels!! A week ago we moved the training wheels up a setting, so she had to balance more on her own. Today was only the second time she had tried biking without the training wheels, and after a few tries with Matt and I helping, she had it! I am so proud of her, and got all teary watching her bike down the driveway. It feels like a significant rite of passage, somehow.


Next post, I promise to give an update on precious Clara!
