day 1 of swimming = not fun for anyone

This was my day

6:45 - Reese wakes up and demands that her swimsuit be put on
7:15 - Reese begs to go to swimming lessons
8:09 - Reese cries that we aren't at swimming lessons yet
9:30 - We leave for swimming lessons
9:55 - Arrive at the pool for swimming lessons (this picture was taken, see the smile?)
10:00 - they call Reese's name and the first signs of apprehension show on her face
10:02 - Reese gets in the water, a little sad but still in the water
10:03 - Hysterical crying begins and Reese is screaming to get out of the pool
10:03 - They bring her over to me and she spends the next 20 mins crying about how much she hates swimming lessons!

WHAT!????? She was soooo excited and she really is soooo good when we go to the pool. Maybe tomorrow will be a better experience, if not, what a waste of my time and money! UGh! all of her friends were just fine in the pool. oh well!

Thatcher did the same thing with soccer. We ended up just switching our registration to the fall instead so hopefully he'll want to go... we'll see!

Ava was fine for two days... totally fine. But when I mentioned going today she had a breakdown.

We need to stay strong! They'll thank us when they're older. :)
