Tomorrow is the last lesson. And I do mean last (for this year, anyway).

He's no longer screaming, as I said, but now his perfectionism has kicked in. He cries at the end of the class because he can't do it. I keep telling him to "do your best" and we are okay with that, but he seems not to understand that he isn't going to be an Olympic-quality swimmer after eight lessons.

I suppose I need to step back and give it a break this year. I hope next summer he is more mature and that will make a difference.
