Thank you.

I know I'm biased but I cannot believe how lucky we are when I look at our kiddos.

Thanks! We were! I love swimming, and it's fun to share it w her. We get in the pool and she instantly tries to shove off of me and says "I go all by myself!" So I let her and she sputters and sinks a little and then lets me help her.

The pool has long noodles that we can actually tie around the kid. It's her fave part of class because she gets to kick and use her arms to retrieve ducks. ALL BY HERSELF! Lol

[tdk2]

You guys are ALL so sweet!

[tdk2]

Can you guys tell how high she was flying? I didn't realize how high I toss her until I saw pics haha.

It's kind of hard to tell bc I tried to crop out other people. I think I must jump a little too when I toss her, when I looked at the pics Dh took.

[litebright]

So cute! I love the suit pic. And she looks like she's just having a fabulous time.

[bonquiqui]

I would love to do this with D but I can imagine that every time it's time to leave, he'd throw a fit.

You should do it! Sometimes the kids cry when it's time to go, but just keep reminding that you'll do it again. Kiddo has been having fits about leaving activities on and off, but we keep talking about how we will do "one more time" again soon.

Yesterday, she didn't want to leave her house in the am, she was sad and missed her house. Then she was sad and didn't want To go home after. Lol. That's being 2. She didn't throw a fit this time, but she has at times. We have a LOT of discussions about it. We used to do activities all the time but have slowed down since kid 2 and winter so she's been out of practice. And I think it's just the age they go through. I feel like the best way to get her better about it is to keep powering through and talking about it. It's rough sometimes. And some days I wonder why I bother lol. But it will ease again the more we do it.

The pool isn't too hard to make her leave. Once they get out of the pool, they're all cold haha. There are warm showers and she knows this.

She's pretty good about it but definitely started the "one more time" breakdowns / not wanting to leave in the last few months.

Oh. And anywhere w toddler classes are used to it, so you don't need to fear embarrassment! Also, ALL the kids get
Out at the same time and leave, so the kids accept that as the rule easier than when you just tell them. We've left other activities earlier than I wanted to recently just because other kids were leaving and I knew it'd ease the "I don't want to leave" thing if she saw others left w her.

I don't mean to dump advice, but I've been fighting this now too, and it's new for us so fresh in my mind about what strategies I've been trying. Once it's warm and baby 2 is bigger, I want to be on the go again so she needs to get w the program again!!
