Elliot “won” level 5 in swimming this morning! He was so excited and overjoyed. He has been working towards this for months! Finally, his new teacher, Miss Emma, leveled him up today. She is also a part-time teacher at Elliot’s Purple Room at the Garden Preschool, so they already know each other.
I told him how proud I was, and that he should be proud of himself. “You can do anything if you practice enough. Never give up!”
He got a ribbon but also chose a toy from the swim school’s schnaka box: he chose a blue bouncy ball and played with it in the small pool afterwards. We played with it together, trying to encircle it with a pool ring.

Happy, so proud, and he got toy from the chest!


Level 5!
