Swimming Lessons Update - HE DID IT!!


Zachary has been doing GREAT!! Yesterday Karl made them jump in at the 8 foot mark and I could see that Zach was having anxiety. He moved to the end of the line, behind everyone. I kept telling him that it was o.k. and that no one would let anything happen to him. I told him that Karl would be right there and that if anything were to happen I would jump in after him. It got to his turn and he hesitated for a few seconds and then HE DID IT!! I was so proud of him! I know that he was scared but he overcame that fear and jumped in anyway! He swam just fine to the other side of the pool and I think that he discovered that it really is o.k. Let's just hope that he can do it again next week! (0:

I also love reading your blog, I giggled when you wrote that you are afraid of mice! I have such a horrible fear of them also.

Way to go Zachary! I love the pic you got of them splashing in the pool.

Olivia is the most beautiful name for a girl.

I'm glad he's getting over the fear. He's doing a really good job. Soon, he'll be swimming laps.
