Pippi is a recent swimmer.  At three years old, she is getting really good.  Today, she swam the entire length of the pool a few times, and wanted to show me her skills.

She hopped in the pool, and started her trek.  About half way across, she started screaming.  It wasn’t a light scream — it was an all-out bloody murder scream.  She seemed to be swimming fine, so I couldn’t see what the problem was.  She got out hysterical, and I finally saw her pulling her bathing suit off of her body.  When we finally got down to the issue, poor Pippi’s bathing suit had captured a bug of some sort, and it had stung or bitten her while she was swimming.  She had a good little bump, and it was red all the way around.  She never got back in the pool to show off her skills, but if I know her - I know she will be back.
