We took SB to swimming lessons the last week of July. Swimming lessons did not go super great. The instructor was wonderful, but Sawyer, in typical toddler boy fashion, was not a great listener & wanted to do what HE wanted when HE wanted. The instructor taught the kiddos how to blow bubbles, kicks & arm strokes, how to properly enter & exit the pool & going under water. There were some moments when Sawyer would be entertained & have fun, like when we would sing songs, but most of the time he wanted to climb up the ladder & jump off the edge; when I didn't let him do that, he threw huge fits!! The first night was the worst, he screamed and cried the entire time, Blake & I were both in the pool trying to control him. I was embarrassed & felt like a big parenting failure, especially because all of the other kids were perfect angels! Thankfully, Sawyer got a little better as the week went on & the most all of the other kids had "bad nights" too ;)
Sawyer graduated!! Hopefully if we're welcomed back, next year will be better!
