I started out the morning with a nice breakfast. Mom said she didn't want me to have a reason to be grumpy at swimming, so she made me nice and full! Then, she told me a surprise. If I was a good boy at swimming then we would go to Toys r Us afterwards and get me some legos! That made me really excited.
Even with the idea of getting Legos afterwards I still was nervous and scared when we got there. I pulled all my usual tactics (having to go potty, screaming, throwing a tantrum), but mom stuck to her guns, and took me to the pool. Mom made sure to give me a hug and a kiss and say I love you, cause I dont like it when she forgets, and then threw me into the water with Telia.
I cried for about 5 seconds, and then started gabbing with my teacher. I told her about Pappa and Iah's latest visit, the Mosquitos that come out at night and drink your blood, and how if I was a good boy I'd get Lego's. I really made a connection with my teacher today.
I had a lot of fun. I did really well and got lots of high fives! I floated on my back and my tummy. Telia fixed my goggles and I was able to open my eyes underwater. She also showed me how to splash the water (freestyle stroke) and I did a very good job at that. Afterclass Sherry gave my mom my success cards and it was determine I am a beginning sea otter!
We went to lunch with dad afterwards and I had fun putting my cards into my swim book. Then.....
WE WENT TO TOYS R US AND GOT LEGOS! I got a Thomas the Train lego set. I'm so excited to play with it. When dad gets home we'll put it together. Dad also got a rocket for us to put together and launch. When we were at the park about a month ago I saw these people launching these cool rockets, and I wanted one so now I have one that dad and i can put together and launch. I'm going to have a fun weekend!
