Swim class

Tonight was our second night of swim lessons. We had to miss last Wednesday because of prior engagements, but we were back today. I was so psyched about going; we actually got there 30 minutes prior to class, as I thought it would give us ample time to get warmed up and have a little free-swim time. MISTAKE! By 6:00, Rowan was absolutely worn out. He was actually showing a fear of the water, which, as we all know, is odd.
Well, the other kids started showing up, and Rowan started to warm up for a few minutes. He does really well at swimming on his back; I even removed my hands from under him, and he stayed afloat by kicking his feet. The first couple of times, he freaked out... but after a few trial errors, we were good! I even had another mom ask me if he took the class last year, because "he seemed advanced"...come on now, all moms LOVE to hear that word! I smiled, and told her no...this was in fact our first year. After about 15 minutes, Rowan got really clingy, and the instructor took him. He was SOOO tired, and all he did was SCREAM!!! She said he was "stubborn, strong, and a screamer"...LOL Yeah, thanks PROFESSIONAL, tell me something that I don't know.
Anyway, by the finale of the class, Rowan was sound asleep in my arms...poor little man! I am sincerely hoping that my little monkey does NOT develop a fear of water as a result of this class.

On a good note, Rowan is starting to show improvements in following instruction and direction; this really excites me!!! We are working REALLLLLLLLY hard, and I am hopeful that his disobedience is more a lack of understanding?? Moms, help me out here!
For the last week, I have been extremely consistent, and I have noticed a HUGE improvement in Rowan. He is starting to understand that "BAD" behavior has a negative consequence, and "GOOD" behavior has gets positive attention. YAY
Two cannot be any worse than one,....right??? Speaking of which, I cannot believe that my baby turns two on Friday...thank the good Lord we have survived another year!
