Tripp had his first swim lesson today. Juliette's "Ms. Viv", the phenomenal older lady who taught her how to swim has since moved to a retirement village and is no longer teaching. We miss her so much! I feel bad that Tripp will never be able to have her. She was so old school in her teaching and had Juliette swimming on her first lesson just before turning three. Ms. Viv used to say that she'd take a girl to teach to swim any day over a boy. She always used to say the boys were such Mama's boys and would cry and run to their Mommies. I laugh because Viv would have been laughing today. Tripp did exactly as I thought... only what he wanted to do. He would fuss and say "tired" and "hold" when he was supposed to be blowing bubbles. He hated being on his back. This is what we call the "Tessa Float." There was one area of excellence for this sweet boy... jumping in the pool to me and walking up and down the stairs in the pool.
So tomorrow will bring a new lesson and a new laugh with this hilarious little boy!
Tripp at the pool as we walked in and looks at me, points and says "No Ocean"...
The baby pool was a treat for some good effort!
