Today was lesson #5 of 8.
Even though ds isn't screaming, and is using his "words" to express his fears, he seems to be just biding his time in the pool. Every time they go to dip him (to teach holding his breath), he comes up crying. The first time it was because he breathed in water, today it was because his eyes got water in them.
*sigh*
I told him to listen to directions. I'm not entirely sure he is. And if he is, maybe he is interpreting it differently somehow?
Our pool has a sign-up day starting tomorrow for more lessons. Each eight lessons are $50 (a lot of money for us).
My thought is it's time to let him finish out his existing lessons and then take him to the pool to play with me (and/or) his dad this summer.
Maybe next year, he will be less sensitive to water in his ears, eyes, and nose?
(BTW: He has had sensitivity to sound (he covers his ears frequently) and water (on his head; as in shampooing) since he was a baby.
