Last Day of Starfish

Una passed Starfish today.  They gave her a report card.  She's five-and-half months old and she has a report card.  All the little boxes were checked off.  She can glide on her front and on her back, puts her face in the water, and doesn't freak out... often.  That's pretty much all you need to do to pass Starfish.  Actually, she goes underwater quite comfortably, and she kicks her feet a little now.  The report card recommended we sign her up for Duck.  Duck?  You have to be eighteen months old for Duck.  If you can't stand on your own, it's pretty hard to do Duck.  We're doing Starfish again.  She doesn't know the difference anyway.  

Incidentally, if anyone has ever wondered how well those cloth swim diapers work, I can tell you now.  Today, after her last turn down the slide, Una wanted to play motorboat again.  This time the engine's roar came from below the water.  Fill the bathtub full of water.  Then drag a tea bag through it from one end to the other.  That's how well cloth swim diapers work.  They keep the leaves in, but the tea still seeps out.
