Addy & Kyle

Here's what we know:

* Addy loves to swim.

* Addy loves her swimming lessons.

Here's what used to be true (and may still be a little bit):

* Addy is nervous when trying things for the first time.

* Addy is particularly nervous around men.

Here's what we now suspect:

* Addy has a crush on Kyle, her swimming teacher.

Addy started her third session of swimming lessons a few weeks ago.  She has been over-the-moon excited about swimming lessons lately, and can't stop talking about Kyle.  To further illustrate, because of a well-visit for Cora and a meeting, I haven't been the one to take Addy to her lessons yet this session. Two days ago, as I'm squawking with my laryngitis, Addy says kindly, "Mom, I hope you feel better tomorrow..."  Oh, how sweet, I think to myself.  Then Addy continues "...so you don't sound funny when you meet Kyle."  Otherwise put, Mom don't embarrass me in front of my crush.

Anyway, I met Kyle today.  He's cute, and nice, and by this time this session of swimming is done, Addy's going to have some serious endurance.  Watch this of her swimming by herself - and this was taken after swimming the entire length of this pool, with the assistance of only a noodle.
