Swimming Lesson #1

It was the swimming lesson that almost wasn't. Tuesday was Pason's first lesson. He was so excited all day. He kept asking when it was going to be time to go, and all the way into town he was saying "What's taking so long to get there?" We got there early because I wasn't exatly sure where the pool was. Pason wanted to put his foot in the water, but I told him he had to wait until his teacher got there. When it was finally time to get in Pason would only sit on the edge. He wouldn't even get in on the little ledge. The teacher and I both tried coaxing him in, and finally about 15 or 20 minutes in he got in. He did put his face in the water for a fraction of a second and he tried to float, but was pretty stiff. He kept getting out and sitting on the side which you would think caused a severe case of hypothermia the way he was shivering. At least he had fun and wants to go back. He promised he would put his head in the water tonight, so maybe I can get some pics of him actually in the pool!
