We found a place down the street that offers some private lessons. He was in the pool with lots of other kids in classes, but he was 1-on-1 with an instructor. We figured that would be the best for a few sessions to hopefully help him get over his fear so we can get him in a group session.
We bought him goggles to keep the water out of his eyes. He looks so funny! Every time his teacher asked him to do something he'd shake his head no. Then after a while he would try it...everything except putting his face in. Overall, did such a great job - in spite of several crying spells and wanting us. They did a great job keeping him going and re-focusing him. Of course at the end of the lesson the first thing he said was "I don't want to come back again".
We have pulled out all of our bribery tricks to get him prepped for going back this weekend. He was told for every 3 lessons he goes to and does good we will let him pick out something fun to do (Chucky Cheese or a movie). I have a feeling the next lesson on Saturday is not going to be as easy.
Other June activities involved a trip to the circus. Cameron wasn't happy during the pre-show. We forced him to take a picture with a clown...and he was sitting on Papa Rick's shoulders. He seemed to enjoy the show though. Got a little restless at the middle, but after intermission he was back into it. It was a great show for the money! Even Melia enjoyed it.
