Courage

Courage should be Emma's middle name.  A couple weeks ago I signed Em up for swimming lessons.  The class started on Monday and goes for 2 weeks every night.  The first class freaked the poor girl out.  Being in the deep end with a bunch of other kids and only one teacher really scared her.  Plus the girl doesn't like to put her head under the water, and that's one requirement for her class.  She bawled Tuesday night about going.  Once there, the girl lucked out with a kid barfing in the pool right before her class started.  So today came around with more tears.  Knowing that Heavenly Father would help her, she asked asked her dad for a father's blessing.  Afterwards, with some deep breaths, she jumped in the pool and faced her fears! Not only did she put her head under the water when the teacher asked her to, but did the back stroke by herself! She came out of the water with a huge smile and said,"I wish the class was for 2 extra weeks! I LOVED it!" I'm so proud of you little Miss Emma!
