No swimming for Mason
Mason chose not to go to swimming lessons yesterday. Yes he is 2 and shouldn’t be allowed o make a lot of decision but he felt very strongly about this one.
He started to cry and fuss when I pulled into the parking lot. He screamed No, Daddy, Home, Back over and over. I figured I had to at least go into the facility to let them know he wouldn’t be in class today. He just screamed in the lobby. Poor kid. When we left he stopped crying.
I was going to take him out of class completely. We have 4 more lessons. I decided to just miss this one and take him to our neighborhood pool 4 days this week before next Tuesday and maybe that might help.
We took him yesterday and overall he did well in the water. We are going to go a few more times and hopefully we will have positive results which will translate to positive swimming lessons. I’ll keep you updated.
Mason’s first day of swimming lessons
We enrolled Mason in swimming lessons and yesterday was his first day.
This is an indoor pool located inside a strip-mall type building. I didn’t even know it was in there. Its 4 feel deep and has a platform for kids to stand on.
His teacher was taking him out to the platform.
The kids floated, used those huge q-tip looking floats and also put their head under water.
Mason cried a bit but we think he will be fine. He floated off the platform twice and I think that scared him a bit.
