Swim Lessons

Day one swim lessons.....very eventful. And unsuccessful, as Brian would describe them. She wanted nothing to do with the water. Brian reported her as a "stage five clinger". She repeated, "Me up" a thousand times and did everything in her power to climb as high as possible on Brian. There were times where her toes even made it up to Brian's shoulders. She looked cute in her swimsuit....although, she was a little nervous....

Her hands remained here 95 percent of the time.....around Brian's neck. Note the picture below she is the only one not in the water....every other kid was loving it.

They had them practice climbing out of the pool. This was by far her favorite part. She was an expert at scaling the wall out of the pool.

The last 10 minutes I actually saw some smiles. She would never take both hands off Brian's neck, but he did manage to get her down in the water more and they chased the ball around. That was the success of the day: one hand off Brian.

Afterwards, she acted like the had the time of her life. She talked and talked about "swimmin" and "playin in the water with daddy" and "splashin"......maybe those are her goals for next week....
