Ski lessons or Swimming?

Annie was all set for her first skiing lesson. Her head was continuously nodding as she repeatedly said; "OK" when asked if she wanted to go skiing. Ski instructor Pat fitted her to a pink floral helmet and goggles that she didn't want to take off even for a brief adjustment to the size. We were good to go...until we went outside. When Annie was lead to the ski school area, even though I was in tow, she decided this was not the program she signed up for.
After 15 minutes and Annie throwing her mittens to the ground we called it quits. We returned to our favorite gondola, this time with Molly who, due to a flu like illness, had not seen the outdoors since our arrival days earlier. Meaghan met us with my skis so I could meet up with the others for a few runs. The plan was for Meaghan to take Annie back to the condo for a nap. The problem was, we never consulted with Annie regarding this plan. As Annie realized (although I had told her) that she was riding the gondola without me she kicked, screamed and clawed at poor Meaghan. Once back in BaBa's (Tim) arms she settled down and for the first time Tim was able to get her to sleep. ( fist pump for Tim)

I returned as Annie was waking up. I asked her if she was mad at me and she nodded yes. Going for double or nothing I decided to head to the outdoor pool and hot tub with her. Having never worn a bathing suit, Annie thought this was the silliest outfit ever! Rubbing her hands over the tight fitting nylon she laughed and flipped her palms up as if to say: "what the heck is this thing."
She clung to me as we walked into the warm water. Within minutes she was splashing, kicking her feet and waving her arms in delight!
May be swimming lessons would be
a better fit at this time...as long as she isn't expected to let go of my neck.
We have been concerned about exposing this little angel to too many new experiences too quickly but she seems to be saying, "What ever you've got bring in on. I want to try it all."
Her new words( to everyone several times a day): "Hello, how are you?"
