"My Teeth Were Biting"

Lydia is taking swim lesson through the county. I wanted to sign her up for a higher level class but I couldn't do it online because she is not four yet. I meant to call and talk to the swimming director at the recreation center to get permission to put her in the higher class but I just completely forgot until the night before the lessons started. I decided to go to the lesson and see who the instructor was and what he or she thought. The first day there were only two other kids in Lydia's class. The instructor told one of kid's mother that her little girl had to move down to a lower level class. He said that Lydia could move up to the next level or stay in his class since it was such a small class. I thought it would good to keep Lydia in the class since there was only one other child in the class and she really liked the teacher and couldn't wait to go back to the class.

Well, today she had a private swim lesson! She did great! She was so cooperative and her swimming improved right before my eyes.

First the instructor had her diving for rings in three feet of water. Then he put fins on her and worked on swimming.





Lydia also floated on her back and swam on her back. The instructor was also able to get her to do a real stroke for about five feet. At the end he let her jump in and swim back to the wall.

What was Josiah doing during all of this?
When Lydia got out of the water she told me, "I am worn out." Then she said, "Near the end of my lesson I was cold and my teeth were biting."
