Congrats, Elsie!


The first day of 4K was an exciting one- we had a late morning, then needed to zoom right from swimming lessons to school.  Why not add a little excitement since emotions were already running high?  When we walked into the swim school, we were greeted with a plaque naming Elsie Swimmer of the Week!  She was nominated by her teacher, Miss Romina.  We took home a t-shirt, certificate, picture, water bottle, and a free family swim pass so that she can bring Daddy to see her swim, too!  Congrats, Elsie!


She was a little nervous to start at her new school, and spent the morning being reassured that Sylvie and I wouldn't leave before she was ready.  As soon as we got in her room, though, she found a bucket of animals, started lining them up on the floor, and said, "You can go now, Mama.  I'm playing."  And the end of the day recap- her favorite part of the day? "When you left me at school."  I guess this place is a good fit for her afterall!
