Swim Lessons

I mentioned earlier that Campbell is taking ISR swim lessons... He still doesn't like going. I don't think he HATES it like he did, therefore we are making progress. He didn't cry Friday when we pulled into the parking lot... that's major progress. He didn't cry when I handed him to the instructor.. so maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. He does whine the entire lesson, but I can handle that if it saves his life one day! The first lesson we both cried... I'm emotional anyway. He looked at me and gave me the sign for "please"... then reached for me. It tore me up. TORE. ME. UP! He has only had 10 lessons. We missed 4 days while we were at the beach. All the other kids have had 15 lessons, so we are a little behind. He is doing awesome though! Saturday was the first day he would even get near a pool since the lessons started. The first few days of lessons I was running around the pool holding him by his shirt to keep him from jumping in. Now, he just sits in my lap with his hands behind his head. We will started our third week Monday. I tried to upload a movie, but I haven't gotten that technical yet. I'll keep trying. I also have some pictures of him in the water, but I haven't uploaded those yet either. The speedo pic will have to do for now!
