Wanted more

Teething still sucks!! Sleep has gotten better but she gets whiny and needy and that drives me nuts. I was afraid that swimming lessons would be a real nightmare. Well, we walked in and made it past the windows without any crying. As a matter of fact she was pointing at the pool. However the tears started when we entered the family locker room. There was another little guy in there and he was crying so Charli had to copy him. She proceeded to cry from then through most of class. The funny thing is she cries but yet does what she is supposed to. She even was totally relaxed floating on her back with her head resting on my chest. By the end of class she was not crying and playing with the toys in the shallow water. Again I decided to stay as she was having fun. She didn't really want to leave when we did but I figured I best get out and get her home for some dinner. As we were leaving the Y, she looked at the windows into the pool area and signed "more". I asked if she wanted more swimming and she nodded. I told her we'd come back and she could swim again. Progress has been made!!!

We just have to get the teeth in and the next thing is day care.... Charli will start on Monday 2/16 and go again the following Monday and we'll work up to 3 days a week. Another chapter will begin.....
