First Solo Swim

Aayla had her first solo swim class today. It was.... how do I put this.... interesting and a bit stressful. Overall, she did pretty good considering it was a new experience for her and with a brand new teacher. She didn't cry or fight going into the pool with a complete stranger like I expected. Instead, she kept jumping off the bench in the water, either reaching for toys or just not wanting to sit still. Amity, her new teacher, had a hard time working with the other kids because she was too busy trying to keep Aayla on the bench! About 10 minutes before the class was over, Aayla decided she was DONE with this swimming business and started whining and wanting out of the pool. Even so, I am looking forward to class next week as I know Aayla will get better each time.

We have our first art class tomorrow!
