Sink or Swim

Today we had our first private swimming lesson.
Man I feel bad for her instructor.
Tiger was excited, and nervous and more than a little stimmy. Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump.

I have to be honest I was laughing so hard from the bench.
Tiger never stopped the whole lesson.
Chatter chatter chatter, jump jump jump
Can I do this, watch me do this, I wanna do this.

In true Tiger fashion she ran the whole show.
The lifeguard assigned to teach her looked a little stunned. I'll be honest here I
LMAO, it was so fun to watch Tiger run them ragged, instead of me. There were literally tears running down my face I was laughing so hard, it was so funny. About halfway through the lesson another instructor came to help.

I never said I was a nice person.

It was amazing though. Tiger could do way more than I thought.
This is our third attempt at level one swimming.
Tiger can retrieve stuff from the bottom of the pool (shallow end)
She can hold her breath, and open her eyes under water.
She can push off from the wall
Front float.
She can swim after a fashion its obvious there is some motor planning issues going on there.
she has difficulty with being on her back. My child has almost no body fat so she don't float folks.

Maybe because she had the whole pool to herself and 2 instructors by the end of her lesson, but she really gave 110% to her swimming today. we had to end early as she was frozen and exhausted. She was so determined to impress them and be able to go down the slide.

I bought her the bad candy, I was so proud of her and frankly she could use the extra calories.

She won't nap but she might lay around for a bit.
 The High Functioning Life, it's sinking while swimming folks.
