She did it! She headed right into the locker room with a look of determination! Nothing was going to stop this girl today!
I couldn't have been happier! Last night we headed to another local school to practice in their pool since ours didn't have open swim hours. The boys did a great job teaching Mackenzie all the things the teacher was going to be showing her in swim. I too went in the water and walked her around just like the teacher was going to do. We left that pool with her doing "cannon balls", or so she called them, off the side of the pool into my arms.
On our car ride home we all again worked on prepping her that this pool is just like our school pool and how fun swim was going to be. "I'm going tomorrow" she insisted.
And that she did. There was no, me holding her down trying to put her suit on, there was no telling her to get back in the chair while watching the boys swim. Instead Lainey and I enjoyed waving and giving thumbs up like crazy!
Who know maybe it wasn't all the "practice" we did last night. Maybe it was really the new toy that she got to pick out on our way to the open swim. The toy that had to stay in the car all night long waiting to be opened after she went to swim. Whatever it was, it worked! I just hope it works tomorrow too.
After a hard workout at swim they all deserved an icee. So Michael pulled out the mixer
And a mixing they did! A little too loud for some ears.
And everyone loved them, except for Miss Mackenzie, who refused to try it...
here we go again...
