This is Ella and Samson. He's been teaching her since the beginning of June but she finally moved up a level to Ms. Jen's class. It was time really. Ella has had the skills for a while but Samson has been teaching her because she is his favorite. The feeling is mutual and I believe him to be Ella's first crush. Her last day with Samson was the first day of this session and a class of 4 new little girls (up until this it's been just Ella or another boy or two.) For the entire class, Ella vied for Samson's attention : "Samson look at me!" "Look Samson, I floating!" "Samson, over here!"... Now that she is with Ms. Jen and 3 other boys, her skills have continued to improve. She's not distracted flirting with Samson, and as the other boys are better, bigger and older, Ella is working hard to keep up. She's even able to go down the slide in the deep end and swim back to the ladder with no help. Of course she still gets 5 minutes before class starts to sit with Samson and tell him about her day :)
