I got a text from mom this afternoon saying "Signed the girls up for swim lessons."
Awesome, I thought. We've been wanting to get you back in the pool.
When do they start? I responded.
5:55 and 6:30 mom replied.
Tonight?
Yup.
Okay cool. I know what we're doing tonight.
Arlee's class was first, which meant that we had to be patient and wait your turn.
Quite frankly, mom and I were more than a little concerned since with your class, we weren't permitted to be in the pool. You'd have to go this one alone.
After AJs class we had to walk you back up to the main pool stands and then following directions from your instructor, Joyce, mom walked you to the steps and let you go.
You seemed okay, although we could see you looking for us as the parents then had to go to a room upstairs where we could watch the class via closed circuit TV.
We were encouraged to see that you were enjoying yourself and listening to the teachers.
When your time was up, we waited with the other parents at the pool eck for you to come back.
You spotted us and were smiling from ear-to-ear.
You told us you had fun but did say you "wanted to cry" when we left you "but the other kids were happy" so you kept your cool.
Mom and I can relax a little knowing you'll do just fine on your own. This was a great intro for you to do thongs on your own and to make friends.
Next Monday is your first dance lesson and we're not allowed in the room there either. We can rest a little easier now. You'll be just fine.
