Priceless-Hannah's first swim lesson experience!!!
Despite "Swimmer's Ear," which may or may not have happened during swim lessons (we've been to the pool for fun a lot lately), Hannah had a blast! She is quite a little fishy!

Lori,
You may or may not be interested in this, but I thought I would share so you could check it out if you are. There are drops you can get at most local drug stores called Swimmer's Ear. You put a couple drops in each ear after you get out of the pool to prevent "swimmer's ear". You probably want to check with the girls' pediatrician or pharmacist first because I'm not sure about dosage/ages, etc. Also, instead of buying those drops our family has used a couple drops of rubbing alcohol in each year (to dry the water), or a couple drops of peroxide in each year (to "boil" out the ears) after we swim. My brother and I used to get "swimmer's ear" every year when we were younger after our swimming lessons. This has helped prevent pain and doctor's visits for our family.
I hope you and your family continue to have a wonderful summer!!
Alison
Hope both girls are feeling better. Can't wait to see them enjoy playing in the pool:)
Love~Grammy
Yes, thanks Alison. We used to make our own (rubbing alcohol and vinegar) when Katie and I were on swim team. We will definitely be doing this for Hannah in the future.
