Swimming Lessons

Gabe's First Swimming Lessons
 It took him 5 out of 8 lessons to actually enjoy lessons.
It started out bad and progressively got better...
from Screaming and running away to Splashing and playing.
We were the spectacle of the pool, whew!
   I've learned he needs to be able to observe a situation and make the decision himself.
(Not to say some bribing and force were involved too).

Sophia Swims
She was excited and jumped right in.
She loved splashing and playing with friends
The best part is that after all this work neither kid passed.
Guess we will have to practice some more on our own.
There is more to be learned at lessons then just checking the boxes.
(Now we could use that philosophy in many aspects of life).

Liam was a good sport.
 He got dip his toes in the water.
