Ms Diane and Swim Lessons

Last week Wyatt started swim lessons. I didn't write about it because it didn't go well (and there are only so many negative things that a person can write about). Last week I called John on the way home from the first swim lesson and told him that I had just wasted $80 on swim lessons because all we were paying for was Wyatt to ignore Ms Diane (his swim teacher) and do WHATEVER her wanted inside the pool enclosure. Things like...run on the deck, try to stick his wet fingers in the closest electrical outlet (yes, really!), lay on the pool deck and pretend to sleep, take his bathing suit off, and a variety of other things that could only make a mother proud! Today was the second swim lesson and it was a complete success. There were a couple of times that Wyatt did his own thing, but it was mostly a fantastic change for the better. The teacher came up to me after the lesson and said that Wyatt had improved 110% and said "nice job Mom!". Then she said "high five Wyatt, great job today!". It was a great feeling to see how far we can come in one week. It's amazing how much a great swim lesson for a three year old can improve your outlook! I have a feeling that this is going to be a great week!
