Swim lessons - week one
I thought it was about time for Micaela to learn how to swim. We got there, and she was all excited. She got in with her class which includes two little girls her age. Micaela wouldn't let the teacher touch her at all - not hold hands- NOTHING. They played ring around the rosie and she insisted on doing it all by herself. Towards the end of the lesson the teacher took them in the deep end and was trying to get them to lay their heads on her shoulder and "take a nap". The other two girls did this with no problem...not Micaela...she was screaming and crying saying she wanted her mommy. That ended the lesson. The next day she was just fine sitting on the edge of the pool - and watching the other kids have fun in the pool. On the third day I was finally able to talk her into getting in and having fun - she didn't have to "learn" how to swim. She is SUCH A GIRL, and very stubborn.

Ahh swim lessons! Our kids have taken ltos of swim lessons since they're taught at Chad's mom's house. Lilly had her first lesson a week or so ago. . . . lots of screaming! She got through it though and I know one day it'll be worth it because Rilee and Cameron are both such swimmers. Cameron will be starting his first deep-end class next week. He will also start kindergarten in Sep.! Man, that kid is getting too old! :) You are so good about updating your blog. I keep telling myself I'll do better, but obviously . . .
