Swimming Lessons Begin

Today at 4 pm Lucas will have his first swimming lesson of the year. The lessons are a birthday gift from Grandma Sydney. We are taking lessons through CA Fam Fitness, which we have done once before when Lucas was 2. I’m not sure what happened last summer: I guess I was too busy to take him for lessons. Anyway, I will pick him up from school and take him straight to the gym. I hope he won’t be too grumpy and tired to try. I’m planning on giving him candy afterward to reinforce the experience.

Unfortunately, I sort of forgot we were going to start the lessons today and I kinda double-booked the afternoon with a playdate with Joseph. When I told Joseph this morning that he wasn’t going to be able to come over to our place this afternoon, his little elfin face fell and he walked away without saying a word. His mom said it was probably for the best because they had an extremely busy weekend, but I know for a fact that Joseph doesn’t get to have many playdates, and he was looking forward to it. I feel like a heel for having disappointed him.
