Isabele's class is Monday mornings. She went to her first class without me and made it through the whole class!! (with only 1 bought of crying). Poor girl was expecting the same teacher from Mommy and me classes last spring. To her (and my) great surprise, she has Spencer, a very nice young man. If you know anything about Miss Isabele, you know that men are not her favorites at this age. But, she made it through. I had to dry her off about 15 minutes into her lesson because she was cold. Then I coxed her back in the pool with "why don't you show Spencer how you can use the marshmallow stick. I bet he doesn't think you can." That worked and she finished the lesson all smiles!
Titus' class is Wednesday afternoons. We decided to move him up a level to Eel, since he progressed so well this summer in the lake. He also has Spencer for his teacher. I prepped him A LOT, in hopes of getting him to do as well as I know he can. It worked. He had a great time and even told me, while shivering at the end of the 30 minutes, "that was pretty great".
I don't think I'm going to have to bribe either of them to get them to go back next week.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.
