Family Swim

So I am referring back to my water aerobics post at this point. I have been a swimmer my whole life, I love to swim, and splash around, whatever, I just think that it's fun. Well today, we got to go for the first time to open swim for kids at the gym. We tried to go last week, but the lifeguard decided she didn't want to go to work that day, so they wouldn't allow any children in. Pretty annoying! But alas, today we finally made it.

Now, I've been totally trying to psych Carson up to do this, because every time we've ever taken him to the pool in his short little life, he just freaks out! I never thought I'd have a kid who was so deathly afraid of the water. So I decided we'd try to take it slow, and hope that if we go every week he will begin to get over being frightened. Today though he much preferred Garry just hauling him around on his back, because in the back of his mind he knows that Garry won't dunk him or throw him, or make him do anything that he doesn't want to do.

So today was one of the few times where all he wanted was his daddy, and there was no changing his mind! But it's definitely a good thing!
