Swimming lessons were fun this year, well fun for Cole anyway :) Cole is a little fish and loves swimming lessons. His friend Jared was in his class and they both are super swimmers. Macie is a fish as well and LOVES to swim. However, swimming lessons were a different story. Her friend Eli was in her class so I thought that would really help her just jump right in and love swimming lessons like Cole. That was not the story. Macie wouldn't get in the water with her class. She wanted to get in the pool but was not willing to participate in what the class was doing. I tried threats and bribes and having her feet get hot on the cement and nothing worked. After asking probing questions to see why she didn't like swimming lessons I discovered she didn't like her teacher, Brandon. She asked me twice during an inquiry if "that boy would be there," meaning her teacher! Next year I think I may request a girl teacher!!

I think this is how Macie feels about her teacher and swimming lessons in general!
This is how Macie spent swimming lessons, just playing in the corner while her class played games and practiced a few swimming skillsThis was our most successful swimming lesson, she almost looks like she is part of the class!
Super swimmers Cole and Jared (I love the goggles!)
