Swim Class

Cailin recently started a swim class through the local community education department. She was all excited because her buddy, Caleb is also taking swim classes, and she wanted to be just like him. Caleb is in a different class (because all of the classes were pretty much full), but she seemed excited to go spend some time with Daddy (the other family fish).

Cailin started a few weeks ago and here's how it went:

Week 1 - getting over stomach virus - not fit for the pool. We'll try next week.

Week 2 - went to class (see picture, blurry, but proof she was there), seemed to love it. Smiled the whole time. Had to get out three times to use the bathroom. I guess the water was the inspiration with that (since we are in the midst of potty training, we obliged).

Week 3 - (this past week). Would NOT get in the pool. She had talked about it the night before that she didn't want to go, also mentioning that she wanted to play with her friend Caleb instead of going to swim class.

Week 3 - the evening after class: Big talk with mom about WHY she wouldn't get in the pool. "I don't know, maybe I don't like the water..." yeah right. She apologized to daddy for giving him a hard time, promised to get into the pool next week.

Week 3 - the day after class: I picked up the kids at daycare on Tuesday, the first question Cailin asked me when we got into the car "mama, is this a swim day, can I go to class?" I told her it was not, but that it would be on Monday. She then said "ok mama, I'll go in the pool next time, I was just being silly."

Leave it to Cailin to tell it like it is. She's so very 3 and we love it!
