Swimming Lessons

Cherish had two swimming lessons left for the summer (she still has one left), and though she was feeling ill this week, she refused to miss her class. Thus, she asked me to take her, and she gave it her best. Smiles, weakness, triumphs, and more smiles....

 Her favorite part of her lessons: Jumping...

 Got it:

Well, Cherish has had about fourteen 30-minute lessons, and she has come a long way. When she began, she was afraid to get her head wet. Her teacher had to work with her over several lessons to coach her head under water. Now, she loves to jump, dunk, dive for rings, and swim underwater.
