I'm a big supporter in all kids eventually having lessons and learning how to swim. Mommy and me classes don't really teach much. Maddie started getting much more out of her lessons and developing skills when she was 4.5.
I wouldn't prioritize early lessons unless you plan to go swimming regularly because they won't retain as many skills. To get the most out of lessons try to go swimming with your kiddo often during that time. You could tell a huge difference in the kids whose parents stayed with the after lessons during open swim from M's previous lessons.
We swim at least weekly and M has taught herself how to do a lot just by watching and playing with her friend in the water. I also teach her skills occasionally and she's learning new ones in lessons. It's catching on quickly at this age.

I'm wondering if I should let the kids play in the kiddy pool outside (I put shading up) even though they have a fever. They're exhausted and hot and so am I. What would N13 do? Let them play in the pool. This. Think of it like a bath for them. You'd never question a bath when they're sick! |

Morning! I wasWas going to to grocery shopping this morning bit it's raining and dnw to deal with that while transporting a baby. I may end up ordering online from another store and picking up later. More expensive but i don't have to get out of the car. cagoldi we have a bird's nest in our deck and the babies hatched yesterday...it's spring! Sent from my LG-K371 using Tapatalk I've started doing a decent amount of grocery delivery / pickup since having my second. It's worth the extra money to me every once in a while! |

One of the attorneys wants me to start doing his filing for hm, since his secretary retired a couple weeks ago and the receptionist took over her job, but apparently isn't good with filing. Plus, she has to stay at the front desk, so she can't really go up to his office to get it done.
I said that was fine, but he seriously turned it into this huge monumental task, which it isn't. She told the office manager who then came down to me to make sure I could handle it. Uh, yes, I can. I already do it for all of the O&Gs, I can handle one more attorney. Oh and he said IF I do a good job he will consider giving me a small bump in pay...uh, thanks, but no thanks, keep your pittance, cause I know that's what you'll offer me.
By the time I retire I have a feeling I'll be doing ALL the work here....

Question for you guys- do you all plan on doing swim lessons for your N13s or just teaching them how to swim yourself? I had B in a class when she turned 2, but that was more mommy n me funsies. I think I'd start feeling more secure if she learned how to swim for real. Good timing. H is actually at her first non-mommy and me lesson right now. It's through the local parks and Rec, so it's outside and only a week. So far she's doing great! I would like to do more lessons but we will have to wait and see. |

I think I'd start feeling more secure if she learned how to swim for real. We've been doing bi-weekly private lessons with B. He's only had 4 so far but has made great progress. DH works with him but the coach has really made a difference. She thinks he will be swimming the length of the pool solo by the end of his lessons (when we move). We did group lessons last year and I didn't feel like they did much. I'm sure we'll do refreshers in the future if needed, or additional lessons to work on specific strokes or diving (we did swim team as kids and our kids will probably do it, as well). There is water *everywhere* in FL and so many activities revolve around it from spring into fall, so learning to swim early was a non-negotiable for us. Plus we'll have the pool at our house in VA so that was another motivator. |

trtlcrzy where are you today? Did you work anymore on your deck project? I'm here! I had a terrible night of sleep thanks to S waking a bunch of time, H peeing the bed and then not wanting to stay in her bed. They did let me sleep in a little later than normal, probably because they were tired too. Then we ate breakfast, got ready and headed to swimming lessons. I'm presently waiting in the drive thru at Starbucks. I wanted to go before lessons but didn't have enough time. |
