Four weeks of intensive swimming lessons for my 5yo & 7yo are over. It went WAY better than I had expected, especially considering how dramatic my daughter can be and how over-thinking my son can be.
I’ll sign them back up as soon as I know their soccer/dance schedules for the Fall…but I couldn’t end the summer swim experience without a list, now, could I?
I’m too scaried to get in the water.
Oh. A boogie board. Weeee!
I’M GONNA DROWND IF I EVER LET GO IF THIS BOOGIE BOARD EVER AGAIN.
This is fun!
Is it time to go home yet?
Is she looking? Is Mama looking? I think she’s looking. I MISS MAMA!
My baving soup is soooo pretty. Oooooo…my skirt’s so swirly…
AAAAK! I’M SINKING! SIIIIIIINKIIIIIING!
I hope I get to jump in. I really wanna jump in. I’m gonna ask if I can jump in.
NOOOOOOO! HE SPLASHED ME IN THE FAAAAACE!!!
I gotta go peeps.
I don’t have to go peeps anymore.
Ooooooh..cool toys. Fun! We get to play with toys in the water.
I WANT THE PINK OOOOOONNNNE!!! RIGHT! NOW!
I HATE THIS STUPID FACE POOL AND IT’S ONE POOPY PINK TOY.

One of my favorite phrases of her.
“I hate this stupid face pool” sorry to say, but that doesn’t seem to stop at age 5.
This is a great list! It’s great that they took to the water. Congrats mom!
I’m just glad it went so well. They want to start again, but we won’t know til last minute when the soccer practices will be, which eats up an afternoon.
I love the rendered toddler speech. One of the few ways in which I enjoy seeing an accent spelled out.

Agreed – sometimes it just looks too mumbled to understand!
And what are the things mom’s thinking during all this? I can only imagine!

Pretending to be on my phone working as I write this all down.
My fave is
“I gotta go peeps.
I don’t have to go peeps anymore.”
Yep.

There’s no “P” in Pool…ohhh….wait. Nevermind.
“I hope I get to jump in. I really wanna jump in. I’m gonna ask if I can jump in.” I’ve narrated this in my head I don’t know how many times.

I think we should petition to change the actual term to “baving soup.” I absolutely looove it.

Each time she says it I smile inside.
Love the list. My daughter will always say, “But I hate getting my face wet.” Going to be a problem in the pool there kiddo.

My son HATED getting his face wet, which was a big worry of mine. But then he just went in – I was shocked.
This summer my daughter finally went from no face in the water to swimming. All it took was her 4 year old brother jumping in for her to change her tune

You really got right into that 5 yo psyche. Perfect.
