Swim Lessons! 6/6/09

Maija chooses a toy during swim lessons at the Mukilteo YMCA!

Maija enjoys the water, but I think she was also showing off for her auntie, too!


Maija does really well floating on her back.




Maija really likes singing and dancing in the pool with the other kids.

And she likes to give the other kids hugs, too!
