my baby boy was so excited for swimming lessons but he soon realized its not his thing.
he has a thing against water in the face so i guess he figured he could get all the way through it without getting wet! he lasted three lessons and after the final meltdown due to the instructor forcing him underwater for the second time, he decided swimming was not what its cracked up to be. these were supposed to be happy times and my poor guy was scared to death. after the lesson as he was dressing, he made the decision to not come back until he is ready. i totally support that. it was his decision to sign up, and its his decision to bail, totally up to him. he got what he needed out of the experience and that's all that matters.
kudos to the instructor for putting up with his hard little head and cries and struggling arms, she sure earned her keep those 3 days haha.
I appreciate and am grateful for the beauty in the whole experience though, including the random lady that walked by me with the turban.
loving my guy for trying ...and lovin my guy for letting go of what did not feel right. <3 <3 xoxo
“All I am saying can be summed up in two words: Trust Children. Nothing could be more simple, or more difficult. Difficult because to trust children we must first learn to trust ourselves, and most of us were taught as children that we could not be trusted.” – John Holt
