The first half of today's swim lessons went perfectly. Both Sophia and Kelsie really were listening and doing what Mr. Sam asked of them and neither shed a tear. However, Kelsie started to get a little frustrated toward the second half of the lesson. They were working on getting her head into the water a lot and she was not happy about it. She didn't mind too much the first couple of times, but after that she started fussing and crying saying she didn't want to do the lesson anymore. She did finish the lesson after some convincing from me, but she wasn't too happy about it. I think she was just pushed outside her comfort zone a little too much this time.
She floated on her back, she did her row rows, she did her kicks, she kinda of did her supermans, and then having her head under the water too. She did really well, but as I said I think she was pushed a little harder than she was used to and didn't respond well to it. It must not have upset her too much though, because after a break while Sohpia's cousin did his lesson she was up for getting back into the pool for a little while. I am sure she will start to build a tolerance for her head getting wet, but right now it is a lot for her to take in. She doesn't even like having her head wet in the bath tub yet, so she is tolerating it better than I would have thought she would! Hopefully she will keep doing better and better the more lessons she does.
