Swimming Lessons?

Has anyone seem my outgoing adventurous daughter anywhere? Monday was the first day of swim lessons and Miss. Adventure was NOWHERE to be found. After many successful and tearful escapes from the pool (and being chased down by a swim instructor) Grace was taken to the middle of the pool and basically given a private lesson while she cried and clung to the teacher. I watched most of this episode in amazement because usually Grace is usually a “go go go go girl”. After her 45 minutes of “swim lessons” she emerged from the building wet and with tears rolling down her face. I enthusiastically asked, “How was your swimming lesson?” she answered as only a 2 ½ year old can, “I cried …. I cried a lot.”

UPDATE: After today’s swimming lesson her comment was “I cried, ...... a little”. Hoping for a tearless swim tomorrow.

UPDATE: Day three, the swim coaches cheered as Grace entered the swim area without a tear!
