Getting better

Although it was freezing cold here last night, we still went to swimming lessons. Charli did just fine until she saw the windows into the pool area. She started crying from that point until nearly the end of class. She didn't cry hard the entire time. And by the end of class she was not crying and enjoying the toy/play time. I decided to stay a while longer in the water since she was enjoying it. She was smiling and even chasing after a ball. She slipped once and stumbled but when she got upright (with some help from mom) she didn't bat a lash or cry. I do believe progress has been made. Hopefully it will continue to get better each week.

Good for you to stick with it!
Both of my kids talk about how they want to swim and go to the pool and take swimming lessons. . . . when we were up in Two Harbors for Thanksgiving, we went to the pool everyday. Neither kid would put their big toe in the water. Screamed bloody murder . . . I guess I need to suck it up and sign them up for lessons.
