As stated earlier, we started swimming lessons this week. I was very pleased with Catherine on Monday. She didn't fuss or act timid like she normally does and Tuesday was the monsoon so we didn't have lessons. Wednesday she fussed and cried and actually screamed bloody murder, not the best day we have ever had. Yesterday, went really well again. Sarah had only been making it about 5-10 minutes before she got to cold and got out, but yesterday she got back in and learned with the other kids how to fall in, turn around, kick to the wall and climb out of the pool ( she had help, we didn't let her do it by herself). Debbie really wanted them to do this so if they ever did fall in, they know how to get out, since most of them won't completely be able to swim after lessons are over. I am hopeful that Cat will be close though and by the end of the summer will be comfortable. Today, we have our makeup lesson from Tuesday, so we will see what today brings. Wish my poor girls luck, it has been pretty chilly!
