Megan loves the pool! She jumps in, she blows bubbles, she loves the pool, the beach, the tub....she is pretty fearless when it comes to water. We enrolled her in swimming lessons and she was so excited! And then the first day of swimming lessons came.
As all the kids gathered to be divided among the instructors Megan decided she didn't want to be in one group, well, she was called to go in that group and the tears began. (oh, and if you didn't know we're all about our 4-year old little girl drama right now!) Well, Ms. Ellen is the program coordinator and saw how upset Megan was so she took her in her group. She was so patient and didn't make her get her face wet on her first jump and tried everything to comfort her. Nothing worked. She cried for 30 minutes straight!
Well, after much talking and discussing we tried again. Day 2 was such a miraculous change of attitude that one mom asked me what I said to her! She jumped in, hummed to keep the water out of her mouth and nose, kicked and had a blast! We love swimming lessons! And Ms. Ellen!

So glad that day 2 went better! She will be doing the butterfly stroke before you know it!
