Nicholas started swimming lessons yesterday. We were nervous enough about the lessons: Nicholas having a yucky cold and honestly we were petrified to let our little boy go in the pool without us & without a life jacket!!!! The class started well - he was game to try all the "on land" exercises. When the instructor had the kids sit on the edge of the pool, he started to get a little nervous. He liked playing "Red Light, Green Light" by kicking in the water but the hesitation really started the first time she pulled him into the pool. She tried to get him to blow bubbles (he couldn't), put his face underwater (he wouldn't), and hold on to the edge of the pool and bob up and down (no way!). The last activity they did was jumping into the pool. The instructor held the hands of the kiddos the entire time & never let anything above their midsection touch the water, but Nicholas would have NONE of that! He was reduced to tears multiple times during the lesson and honestly just wanted to leave. Looks like he is more like his Daddy with regards to water. We try again tomorrow night... here's hoping he gets a little more comfortable. We don't expect him to swim like a fish by the end of this session, but we'd like him to be a little more at ease in the water.
Healthwise, I had yet another injection today. The nurses are starting to feel bad about sticking me weekly. I have so many markings I look like an addict! Saw my Dr. briefly today and she was encouraging as always! We'll go in for our next Dr. visit next week. Glucose screening is this Friday - let's hope I pass the first time around!
