Swim lessons

Skylar started her second session of lessons.  She actually remembered some stuff form her lessons last spring (there were no sessions over the summer because they were redoing the indoor pool) She was so happy to be back in lessons and can't wait to go back next week. 

Larissa??  She wasn't so happy.  She was very excited to go this morning, but when we got there and she realized Skylar was in a different class (yes we told her this before but she didn't quite get it until Skylar went off to another teacher) She went into the water willingly, but wouldn't participate.  She was staring at me so I left to go to the other side where Skylar was.  John stayed with Larissa.  About 15 minutes into lessons she started crying and wouldn't stop.  I asked the teacher if she wanted me to take her out and she said no.  She knew Sissy was in the PS2 class so they made a choo choo train to pass by sissy's class.  Larissa was a little happier and Skylar came to her and told her this was fun, but as the train pulled away, Larissa started crying again.  She also would let go of the teacher.  She did last the whole session, but didn't participate in the fun, just clung to the teacher. 

John was reading in the news letter for the park district and saw that there is family swim night every friday.  $10 for the whole family to swim for 3 hours.  We thought, that's a good idea for a cheap family night out, so we are going to try it this week.  Hopefully if we all go swimming and work on things with Larissa, she will be ok for her lesson Sunday morning.  I think she was a little scared of being in the pool without her floaties on, so if we take her in without them and get her used to it, she may be a little happier the next time.  We can hope, right? 

Here are a few pictures I got today.
