Anya swimming

DO you ever have those days when you are sooo proud.

When Anya learnt to swim this was one of those days. She is such a natural athlete and while I am glad I am also noticing that because things come easy for her when something is a little hard she wants to give up. Not entirely but I can see that hard work is not fun for her and because she isn't used to struggling she doesn't like it and would prefer not to do it.

How can I help her to be one of those people who don't give up. who look at hard things, grit their teeth face it head on and whistle a happy tune. I know these people exist well maybe not whistling a happy tune but they still have and face challenges head on without complaint.

THe answer is I guess is by trying to be one of those people myself but I was hoping for an easier way(:

I am just thinking aloud today and this seems to be where my thought are going off into cyberspace, so anyways.... back to the video,

I LOVE THAT MY LITTLE GIRL CAN SWIM!!!.

Both Anya and Nadia make me very proud!!
