swim lessons..

Well, if you don't know jack very well, then you don't know that sometimes he get a little nervous to do things. And that's totally ok with us. As long as he tries it. When we started swim lessons that first day he screamed so loud you would have thought the lady was beating him. But Miss Megan would NEVER do that!!! So the next day he didn't cry any more, and he what finished with the whole crying thing until the very end. Right after his teacher "dropped" him in the water. She didn't actually drop him, she just let him try to swim on his own. Ever since that moment he was kinda sorta a little bit scared of the water again. But he still tried, and went everyday, and participated! That's all that matters!!

Jack, we're so proud of you! We can't wait until next year to see how far you've come!!! And thanks for always trying!!!

must be something with first jacks. my jack was deathly afraid to get his ears wet (he even hated the bath) and i was pretty worried about his first swimming lessons. it took him a little while that first summer, but since then he's been a little waterdog.

grammie also told me that your jack's afraid of dogs - so was my jack. he's still not really a dog-lover, but he's not afraid afraid. he just keeps his distance.
