This summer at the pool was a big turning point for M. She was doing so incredibly well that we didn't want her to "forget" during the winter how much she liked the water. So, we enrolled her in swimming classes at a local college. We've been going every Saturday for about 5 weeks now. Until today, she absolutely hated the classes and told us such every week. She never wanted to go but we always talked her into going thinking that if she just got there...... Last week she was screaming and crying so hard I took her out of the pool. I didn't know what to do and felt so terrible for her.
At first today she was protesting with her best faces and arguments, but then the aquatics director came over and gave her some extra TLC. Eventually after some clever talking she got her into the pool. From that point forward M had a great time and even told me several times that she loves her swim class.
This called for a celebration. So we headed over to the
Blue Max for a cup of hot chocolate. Afterwards, M got to pick out some pumpkins to carve.
I could not be more proud of M for being so brave and trusting. She's an amazing little girl!!!!
