I get the "Why me God?" questions.

That is what counts.
Side note, I too...You tried. That is what counts.<br /><br />Side note, I took Xavier in for swimming lessons. He would not even walk into the pool area! He wasn't going to participate whatsoever. So, I just asked for my money back and told Xavier he has one more year to be a baby; next year you have to take swimming lessons. <br />I wasn't going to pay for a kid to cry for thirty minutes on the side of a pool. You know what I mean?<br />I had to try. And yes, I was getting all the stares from the other people too. It was like the time he was sitting at the bottom of the pool and 3 life guards went after him. Boy, did people stare at me that day. But of course no ones wants to help or offer some helpful words.<br />Times like these remind me that all moms need a smile and a hand.Kelle Ortizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385821718699406033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-348466083309767741.post-50663864838833798122009-06-02T15:02:40.510-04:002009-06-02T15:02:40.510-04:00Kudos to you for pulling up your boot straps and t...Kudos to you for pulling up your boot straps and trying, and then throwing them down and crying your heart out.

Liem will get it...and if you don't push him just a bit, you may never know what works and what doesn't. i would try for the private lessons and see where that goes. Perhaps the paople there would understand and give you a break on the $$ for those lessons too...my motto? It never hurts to ask!Mrs. Chiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051404524064678260noreply@blogger.com
