So last week's swim practice went MUCH better then the first week and when I asked Skylar if she wanted to go to practice she said "yes, I like my NEW teacher because she doesn't let go of me." She went on to tell me how she and her teacher talked about her fears and that the teacher promised to not do anything to scare her. I guess it worked because Skylar was able and willing so whoot! I was nervous when we first arrived if it would be the original coach or not and it wasn't - phew. But something tells me Skylar will have to come face-to-face with her again in the near future. On the way to practice Skylar was talking and singing, all while wearing her goggles, but then it got very quiet. I looked in my backseat to find this...
Poor dear was so tired she passed clean out, goggles on and all. I was certain that when we got there and I woke her she would be a royal terror (she gets that from her dad) but again, she surprised me with her enthusiasm! It helped that we saw familiar faces today and she even made a new best friend, Keira. They came out hand-in-hand asking if they could have a girl party at Sweet & Sassy. Her mom and I exchanged numbers and Keira even gave Skylar a "friend bracelet" (aka - hair tie). Skylar is now VERY excited about attending the next swim practice! Thank God for new friends!!!
