Okay so the kid's started swim lessons on Monday, they have been looking forward to going for a couple weeks now. I am going to do a quick rewind to last year, Riley was in a class with one of his good friends and Kalli had a HUGE meltdown because she had a boy teacher (oh! no) and would not go so they had to switch teachers to a cute little teenage girl.
So back to present day, we decided just to go it alone this year because their friends were all going out of town. On our way Riley kept teasing Kalli that she was going to have a BOY teacher and she was freaking out. We show up and let's just say MELTDOWN from both of them Riley was losing it becaues he was the ONLY boy and Kalli got a BOY teacher, again, ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Here I am trying to reason with them both and they are both visibly upset, one is crying the other holding on to my leg for dear life. I am pretty sure the whole place had their eyes on us, and were thinking "wow and that lady is having another one, good luck to her".
I finally got them both to go to class (yes, I threatened them that they would both be grounded) they both did great and Riley said "that really wasn't that bad Mom and it went so fast" and Kalli said "I really like my teacher, Trevor, he is so not scary". Let's just hope it stays that way keep your fingers crossed we have until Friday :) My Mom took them today and said they did great!

I love it! Not for you having to deal with them throwing a fit...but just the story in general!
Hilarious!
That is hilarious!
Why does everything have to be a fight? Even the fun activities that you plan for the kids turn into a mess. We go through all the same dramas with swimming lessons. And even after all my fighting with them over it, I'm sure they'd drown if they were in the deep end. Why? Why do we do it?
I'm really dreading Porter's first swim lesson now... maybe I will just teach him to swim myself. :)
The fact that you take the time to put them in swim lessons is great. Jais had them when she was like one and two. Now our philosophy is “Sink or Swim”.
and just think...this next one is going to be a mix of them both!! ;o) awww I just love it! You are such a good mom. I hope you know that!!!
Hey Britt...was just thinking about you this morning and thought I would pop in to see how you are doing. We sure missed you at Bunco. It's just not the same when we're not all there. Are ya doing ok? Do you need anything? LMK!
