Swim Lessons

I haven't blogged in a while because we haven't been up to much around here since the whole house, except Craig, has been sick! Even the poor little baby. It wasn't anything major thank goodness, just colds. Brianna is still hacking away and can't seem to kick this cold but we are all doing much better.

Today James had his first swim lesson! I have been so excited for him to start. I wanted to make sure we started well before summer came so he will be ready for the pool by then. All morning I was asking him if he wanted to go to swim and he was so excited. I think because he thought we were going to Nonni's to swim and he was going to go with his cousins! The lessons are at a sports club and once we got there I was telling him his teacher's name, Miss Cerra, (pronounced like Sarah), and told him that he couldn't cry or Mommy won't be able to stay and watch him. So when I asked him if he was going to cry he said "NO". As soon as we walked into the pool area we met his teacher and he didn't want to go with her. We took his shirt off, she took him and he had a FIT! So I said bye and walked around the corner. I wanted to listen to see how long he would cry. It lasted about 5 minutes and then he stopped. So I went to sit in the lobby. When I came back to get him he was out of the pool sitting on a chair with his towel around him having a lollipop! She said he did good. When I asked him if he had fun he wouldn't even talk, he was too into his lollipop! He gave her a hug goodbye and a high five! When I was getting him dressed I asked him if he wanted Mommy to watch him swim next time and he said yes, so I told him he can't cry then. So hopefully when we go on Friday he won't cry so I can stay and watch!
Here he is in the locker room before his lesson, since I couldn't watch I couldn't get any pictures!
