Swimming Update

Swimming went much better this evening.

I went in a little early and talked to the teacher. I told her that my Girly Girly is quick to pick up on low expectations, that she was capable of doing all the things they were asking of her.

The teacher said, “Yes, I remember from last year.” Then she added,”So I have permission to be rough on her, make her do things she doesn’t want to do?”

“Absolutely,” I said. “Also, she hates sitting on the deck, so if she refuses to do something, make her sit on the side of the pool, and it’ll turn her behavior around.”

The first time the teacher asked Girly Girl to do something, she refused, and the teacher sat her up on the deck and moved on.

Joke’s on me! It was a very warm day, so instead of shivering miserably like she’s always done on the deck, she was quite comfortable.

However, the next time she was asked to do something, she did it. And she did everything they asked her to do.

Look at this!!

I have a photo just like this one with the assistant instead of the teacher, but he’s underage, so I posted this one instead.

I have hope.
