today was kaia's first swim lesson of the summer and she did not want to go. we had her in a private lesson last summer and she cried every day cuz the water was cold and there weren't any other kids there. so anyways, she was so ready to not want to do it...the second we got there she was saying, "mama, stay with me". then, she saw other kids and when i sat her on the side of the pool and her feet went in the water, she realized that the pool was heated. that was it...she had a great time (except for the first time they asked her to put her face in the water and open her eyes)...but she did better than i thought and after the first time, she even liked doing it.
see proof!!! :)
so far, so good! (derek and i thought that this was gonna be the "before" picture, but there weren't any sad, crying "after" pics to take.
making friends before the lesson began...
leia was SO concerned about her, she didn't take her eyes off of kaia the entire 45 minutes!
patiently waiting her turn
kick, kick, kick...
those are some good kicks, kaia
practicing their freestyle stoke
kaia's making sure that we're still watching
this is right after she put her face in
you did great kaia!
