We made the decision to put you into a swim camp; every day, Monday – Friday, for 2 weeks.  The first day was pretty brutal….you had a hard time adjusting to being in the water without mommy or daddy.  Even though there were only 3 other kids in your class, you were still feeling pretty unsure about the entire situation and expressed your concern with MANY tears.  To top it all off, as this is an indoor venue we promised you there would be no butterflies (you know, those terrifying little flying creatures).  Little did we know that in the midst of your panic and crying a lone butterfly would make it’s way to your end of the pool!  What were the chances!?

You survived day one and recovered rather nicely after the lessons were over, even agreeing to return the next day!  Well, we are 5 days into your lessons and we have yet to make it through a lesson without crying – though the amount of tears is diminishing each day.  And you always agree to return the next day so you can’t be too traumatized, right?

We decided to have daddy spend some time with you in the pool this weekend, in an effort to better prepare you for your 2nd week of lessons.  You are now jumping in the pool off the ledge and going all the way under!  You even seem to be enjoying it!  Hopefully that comfort level will carry over into the indoor lessons pool?!

We’ll see how week 2 goes….
