Maleen and Hazel Learn to Swim

We decided to sign Maleen and Hazel up for a semi-private swimming lesson at the end of summer.  I'm sure their swimming teacher, Eddie, wanted to die when he realized he would be teaching two tinny little girls with two VERY strong opinions.
Maleen loved to KICK, Hazel apparently didn't feel like kicking and she wasn't afraid to let Eddie know what she did and did not want to do.
Eddie would say, "Let's blow bubbles" and Hazel would reply, "You do it Eddie."
Maleen on the other had was very passive aggressive.  If Eddie suggested something she didn't want to do she simply pretended she didn't hear him and kept right on doing what she wanted to do.
Both girls loved a game of "Ring Around The Rossie"
Eddie was a great sport!
Hazel LOVED to float on her back.
Maleen not so much!

By the end of lessons both girls happily went off the slide, jumped off the side, and happily went under.
I call that a complete success.
