Swim Lesson Time!
First Taj and Lily do the "Dailies", swim lessons everyday for two weeks and then move on to swim lessons just twice a week for an additional 3 more weeks. Lily has always been very water cautious and will even tell her swim instructor that she simply will NOT do what she asks. Lily will choose timeouts on the edge of the pool over trying something her instructor is asking. The Instructor's rule is..."If you don't try, then you have to sit and watch until you are ready to try." No bouncing around in the water choosing what you want and don't want to do. As usual, Lily will try to negotiate with her teacher, but thankfully, this is the same teacher Lily had last year and she remembers Lily's tactics. She works sooooo well with Lily. As you will see in the videos in the other post, progress has been made! It made me tear up then and still does watching these.
