It is hard to believe that at the beginning of the summer, neither of my kids would leave the steps of the pool and neither would attempt to swim, even with flotation devices on.
It is hard to believe that Everly, for the first week of swimming lessons, cried and had to be pulled out of the group.
And it is hard to believe that, until about two weeks ago, Cortlan wouldn't jump in the water without holding onto someone's hands.
It is amazing what time and exposure can do....and patience. I am learning to not rush things. I am learning there is a balance between pushing and waiting and just letting things happen. Sometimes that is hard, but I am learning.
