I like routine...

I had my last day of swimming.

Mom told me that it was going to be a play day.

I was confused.

I thought we were having swim lessons and then staying to play.

I don't deal well with change.

I got upset and didn't want to participate in the play day.

"No mom, it's swim lessons...we don't play we are taught swimming".

It took me awhile, but I finally went over and watched my friends go down the slide.

I wanted nothing to do with that big slide.

Then my teacher took our class over to the diving board.

I went and sat by mom.

She finally convinced me to go watch my friends jump in the water.

They ALL did.

So...I guess I can be a follower...

My teacher walked me out to the end of the board.

and then I "jumped"

(okay, my teacher lifted me down to one of the waiting life guards)

It was really fun!

I did it 3 times.

And the last time I jumped more than was lifted,

and my face even went in the water.

Turned out to be a fun "play" swim lesson day.
