Safety Lessons

I think parents might need therapy after sending a child to a swimming safety program at 7 months old. I sweat bullets the entire 10 minutes, but I am told to stay strong otherwise Hadley will figure out that I am worried…

I might be hearing from Hadley's grandmothers soon.

Hahaha do you guys have a pool? We did the same thing with Lennon at 10 months old. And yes, the entire 10 minutes of lessons I felt like an abusive mom. However, on the last day when they dropped him into the pool (fully clothed!) and I watched him turn on his back and start crying, I felt like maybe I'd done something right. But BOTH grandmas were furious. At least she looks cute. :)

Wow - you are brave! I've thought about swimming lessons, but can't actually get myself to do it. Bravo!

So if it makes you feel better all three of mine have done this with Ms. Margie too! They (well, Sage and Reese...Jack, not so much) even ask to swim with her rather than the stroke teachers!! She will truly benefit. I couldn't take Sage myself. This was before Margie had her own place, but Sage would hide in the bushes and we would literally have to drag her out to put her in the pool. My KD babysitters ended up taking her. I COULD NOT TAKE IT!! Reese and Jack I was able to take because I see the benefits now with my own little mermaid Sage!! Don't sweat it! And by the way, she is so precious!!!
