And so it goes....

Today we had swim lessons for the 3rd day in a row. You would think that each day would get better with my child but we seem to be going in the opposite direction. Today at swim lessons my daughter did not even make it into the water. She decided to sit and play with doodle bugs instead :) So... me being the responsible parent (hehehe) made her sit and watch the entire 30 minute swim lesson and tried coaxing her to get in the pool and join her "friends" several times but no luck. When it was over she talked with her teacher and told her she just didn't feel like swimming today. So my question to all of you is this... we still have tomorrow and all of next week left, do I continue to take her every day even if she doesn't participate? I feel like I need to just to show her that you stick with something but it is a beating getting up every morning and getting Graham fed and everyone ready to go for her to sit on the side of the pool. Any thoughts????

thats a tough one...I'd say stick with it at least for a few more days BUT if it were me I'd totally want to quit. Let us know what happens :) Good Luck!

SO... what's the verdict??? Do we have a little Michael Phelps in the family? LOL ;) I agree with your friend Jeni, I'd try hanging in there a couple more days. (but if it was Paise I'd probably quit too, lol)
