Logan started his private swim lessons this week with Miss Cerra. So far, so good! Logan's always loved the water as long as he was to the side and could stand but there was no way he'd put his face in it, go underwater or even let us take him in holding him without screaming. He even still freaks out to get his hair washed. We need to get this boy swimming already! After 2 lessons he is doing great! Only cried the first class at the beginning for a few minutes and not since. She seems to be a great teacher and as I watch from afar you can see them communicating well and they are completely focused on each other. As of now he has learned how to "Spiderman" walk along the edge of the pool with his hands, he can climb out of the side of the pool himself, he stands on the edge and jumps to her, puts his face into the water, kicks his legs, floats backwards and just today she made him go underwater! Now that part was funny! He was freaking out but she made him do it. He went underwater and put his arms out to reach for the side wall to hang on. She wanted him to do it 2 more times and tried to bribe him with getting more lollipops and stickers at the end of class instead of the usual one each. I heard them talking and she was up to 5 lollipops and 3 stickers and he still refused her deal and told her, "Maybe next time"! I have no doubt that every class he will learn more and more. She guarantees that her students will be swimming after 6-12 weeks so we will see. Can't wait to get him swimming!
