Whenever D does something really well or he is super proud of himself, he gives the thumbs up. Well, HUGE thumbs up to D for his awesome performance at swim lessons today! Many of you may not know that up until today, D has not willingly attempted to swim with his head completely under the water. He is such a cautious child (crazy, but cautious), and the thought of having his head completely under the water... no access to air...not being able to see what is going on around him...just not appealing to one who likes to have things under control. We tried to do swim lessons at the Hoover Rec last year, and it was a complete disaster. He would scream and cry, and panic every time his little toe touched the water. Ofcourse, I did have to bribe him this go 'round--ice cream for a job well done. Small price to pay. Poor parenting? Maybe. But at least we are headed to a five year old who can swim without floaties. SO, thank you to Ms. Chelsea at Riverchase Country Club--the water gods are smiling down on you for bringing another (slowly, but surely) into the wonderful world of swimming!
