Bryce had his first swimming lesson yesterday, (to continue . . or start over, from the progress he made last summer) but swimming is sort of an overstatement. Really, yesterday was a lesson in willingness to put one's head in the water (sort of a precursor to all things SWIMMING.) It was amusing and frustrating to watch Bryce shaking his head "no" at his swim coach . . .the poor guy was coming up with every game he could think of, to lure our sweet boy allllll the way in the water. He who LOVES the pool, and LOVES the water, does NOT want anyone telling him to put his head under water. (Although he told his swim coach repeatedly, that he has done some of those same things before.. .. with Daddy.)
We go back on Friday, and I am hoping that Bryce will get more comfortable with his teacher, Zach, and will be more willing to try some new things. I think we will try scattering some money on the lower steps . . .the kid is crazy about coins, so if he knows he gets to KEEP the coins, I am pretty sure he will put any body part necessary UNDER the water to get them!!!

Oh I remember those days! It broke my heart watching my kids crying in the pool....
Gone are the days of just throwing your kid in the deep end like my father did me! I hope Bryce overcomes his fears soon.
