First Day of Swimming

Well, after learning about Maddie's cousin Grace diving to the bottom of the pool (with assistance) after her first session of swim lessons this summer, it was a tad disconcerting today to be once again in the deep end of the pool, swimming in a circle, holding a fighting Maddie ("I want to get more TOYYYYS") and singing "the wheels on the bus". Its going to be a long two weeks if she doesn't have an attitude adjustment!

Sam didn't want to go into the "big pool" and whined a bit, but the instructors took over, and he ended up having a good time. At the end of the session, he announced "hey mommy, we get to come back tomorrow! Thats cool!". Amen, brother.

Thankfully, after 4 years and two toddlers in baby swim, this is my final year of getting in the pool. Next year, you will find me in the shade, feet up in a chaise lounge, reading a paperback novel.
