Well... Sort of...
William signed up for swim lessons this summer which started out ok... James and I were required by William to also participate in the lessons... which relatively ok the first week...
William reaching and pulling to catch his duck on the stairs while the other boys swim with Miss Roberta...
That was the last good day of swimming because at the end of this lesson they began trying to put their heads under! Not good for William! So began his screaming, yelling, crying, and refusing to participate... I toughed it out for two more lessons, with threats and bribes, trying to convince him Miss Roberta was not going to put him under but even I became too embarrassed to show my face at the pool during swim lesson time... William now tells everyone Miss Roberta asked him not to come back to swim lessons...
On a brighter note, he did learn Everything she was teaching from the beginnings of freestyle and the basic back stroke! He kicks and pulls himself to the side and will even actually put his Head Under! So I guess I can chalk swim lessons up to a success... sort of!
