Seriously, this post is awesome. We ...YAY Marcus!!! Seriously, this post is awesome. We just started Mason in parent and me classes that Seth does with him. I sat on the side and watched and I totally know how you felt, you just want to see your kid doing well at this new activity, but sometimes all they need is a little "freedom" and they excel! Amazing pool you take him to to be able to recommend the right lesson group for him, let you do what you knew you needed to do as a mom, and then notice what he needed and encourage you to guide him.Elizabeth [Chasin' Mason]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15755393907480303868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788069042332898.post-76056328445298065572014-07-02T10:55:49.536-07:002014-07-02T10:55:49.536-07:00Aubrey was the same way with dance class when her ...Aubrey was the same way with dance class when her grandparents came- she shut down and didnt want to participate. The next session when they weren't there, she was back to normal enjoying herself. I am wondering if she just doesn't like when people are watching her and making a big deal out of it. Maybe Marcus is the same way?

I don't remember learning how to swim, but my parents always told me that pretty much as soon as I learned how to walk, they enrolled me in a swim class. We lived right next to a lake, so I guess that was pretty smart!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745065252280196384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788069042332898.post-76127993023582857082014-07-01T18:02:09.660-07:002014-07-01T18:02:09.660-07:00Yay!

We've never done a class of any sort so I'm super intrigued as to how it will go. She's 3.5 but I put her in the 4 &5 class...so we'll see what happens. She's the same as M. No fear of the water. So definitely good and bad!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221846937506796615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788069042332898.post-17779823745037571522014-07-01T11:52:01.837-07:002014-07-01T11:52:01.837-07:00that is great that he's advanced enough to be ...that is great that he's advanced enough to be in the preschool class!

And P.S. it's the same thing for haircuts -- I suggested to a couple of parents to step out of the salon during their kids' haircut, made all the difference in the world. :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11530361814272535547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8287788069042332898.post-54100116294198658922014-07-01T07:02:03.921-07:002014-07-01T07:02:03.921-07:00I can't wait when Marcus is an Olympic swimmer...I can't wait when Marcus is an Olympic swimmer and I'll be all like "I knew his mom through blogging" and people will look at me like I have 2 heads.
