Alex had his first swim lesson today. He did SO good with the instructor. He listened intently, did everything that he asked him to do, and was just awesome for an entire 45 minutes! BUT...he had a 25 minute total meltdown after the lesson because he "wasn't done". Nothing I said to him would stop it, I had to carry him out kicking and screaming. He proceeded to throw the fit for 25 minutes in the locker room. It took both my mom AND myself to get him dressed. Then he was fine. Ugh! We go every day Monday thru Thursday for the next 2 weeks. I hope he doesn't have a meltdown EVERY time. I was glad to see him in the water and doing something though. I always feel guilty because we haven't done much since Cadence was born. Who, by the way, is doing good! She slept on my mom in the air conditioned lobby while I was outside watching Alex's lesson. Tomorrow I think I'm going to bring my OWN bathing suit and see if I can't get some swimming and exercise in while he's having his lesson!
We get the older kids on Thursday evening for the 4th of July weekend. We are going to go see fireworks...although I'm debating finding some sort of earmuffs for Cadence. But I figure if we are far enough away it won't be TOO loud, right? Well I'll blog ya later, gotta go!

That's really neat he's taking lessons. Are they expensive? The place close to us charges close to $300/season so I am still debating whether to sign Natasha up. Sorry about the meltdown, I hope it's a one time thing. I hate when they throw tantrums, which for us seems about 10x/day now.
Julka, it's $130 for 8 lessons (Mon-Thur for 2 weeks). He has finally stopped the temper tantrums when the lessons are over thank goodness!
Oh I forgot to add that they are private, not group lessons. He wouldn't listen in a group.
that's neat... private is even better, the ones here are in small groups. Glad the tantrums are over!
