Swim lessons update

Bribery.
So far, this has helped. Along with swimming together on family swim night.

Today's prize for bravery: goggles.

Tonight, she screamed, then cried ONLY when she was on the edge. When they took her out to practice the strokes, she quieted right down and did what she was supposed to do. I'm still baffled at why she cried at the easiest part and frankly I'm rather irritated about it. But she DID get in and eventually joined her class. (Last week, another instructor took her by herself. That's one way to get private lessons, I guess!) Baby steps, right?

Next week's goal: no crying AT ALL. The prize? Glow in the dark finger nail polish.

She does look like an angel fish in her new goggles. Well deserved goggles I might add. She's making excellent progress, Krista. Hang in there!!
Love you both.
