If At First You Don't Succeed...

bribe, bribe again?

After a great first week at swimming, we have experienced some rough going this week. The sun wasn't out Monday or Tuesday and CJ had lots of complaints about being cold and many tears. On Monday she freaked out while waiting in line for the slide. Tuesday wasn't much better. What had made this more successful last year? Well, there was the sunny weather. There also was a doll and a medical kit on the line. So we refreshed her understanding of the rules (stay with your class, no tears, listen to the teachers) and reminded her of the prize at the end of the week (a paper from the teachers and possibly a pink purse with a princess crown on it that she has in her mind) and we had a much more successful night at swim lessons. Go figure.
