Swimming Lessons and Things she Says

Mommy, how do the clouds come down to the ground as fog?

Mommy, how do blueberries turn blue?

Ooh! Yuck! (disgusted that now that she's 4 I'm making her wipe her own butt)

I could teach the class! (said to her swimming lesson teacher)
I don't like doing this. Can we just do whatever we want to now? (again said to her swimming lesson teacher and because she's the only girl in the class (or something) he told everyone they could do whatever they wanted for the next 2 minutes because Helena had asked. He gets a kick out of Helena.)

Speaking of swimming lessons, Helena finished her first session last week and begins session two this evening. She's come a long way!! Joey and I laughed so hard we cried watching her the first time. The kids were told to use big arm strokes walking across the pool and occasionally blowing bubbles. Helena walked like a squatting duck, doggie paddled, and occasionally scooped some water up into her hands and blew on it. Yes, on it - not in it. It was SOOOO funny!! As i said, she's come a long way and will now put her face in the water to blow bubbles. She always complains about the chlorine tho. She thinks it is very yucky!
