Swim lessons Day 1!




Today was day one of swim lessons. I was scared. I didn't want to have to sit and talk to a crying freaked out kid. I wanted them to jump in like everyone else's and just learn. I bribed them all weekend-- if you practice and do what you are supposed to do at swim lessons we'll go to Target and get a toy. Well. Nico did. He had a blast. He kicked with the kickboard, blew bubbles, practiced his arm motions, and watched all the other kids. G- not so much. she cried, threw a fit, one girl was telling her no, another boy was splashing her, making every excuse in the book and in general didn't want to be there. She was SOOOO excited this morning. She was all about the swim lessons. But when we got there she was not having anything to do with that. We will see how day two goes tomorrow- she says she'll participate. Nico got a great Transformer scorpion. G wants a cabbage patch baby (and they are on sale!!!). Of course when we get home she's jumping off the side of the pool and swimming to the side and Nico's using his kickboard so here's hoping for tomorrow! stay tuned.
