Swim lesson are over

Mr. Susan...That's what Rhylan kept calling her;)

Rhylan started swim lesson, knowing nothing about water and swimming. She was eager to learn and loved going to swim lessons. She learned to blow bubbles, kick with straight legs, monkey walk on the wall, climb out of the pool, jump into the pool, swimming safety, float on her back, use her arms to swim, and put her eyes under the water! After she learned to put her eyes under water, she started getting scared. She stopped saying "me first!" She would actually run away, ask everyone else to go first, and scream and cry! There was such a change. But Mrs. Susan was so good with her. Rhylan is super independent, she would put her eyes under when she was standing on the steps "ALL BY MYSELF!!" That is the way she is with most things. She always wants to do things all by herself. So Susan had to find ways to help Rhylan do things by herself. I am so glad she took swim lesson, I think she learned a lot, and got a bit more used to the water. She will actually lay down in the bath now for me to wash her hair. Before swim lessons, she would never do that. She even had to have a wash rag over her eyes when I put water on her head. But she is much more brave. We play a lot in our backyard water toys. And she will even put her eyes under in our baby pool...as long as it is all by herself!!
