We started swimming today. It went better than I ever expected. Before we even went in, Sam and I had a talk about being a good "student" and not asking a lot of questions. We went over turning our ears on to pay attention and zipping up the talking mouth so that he could learn.
There ended up only being four kids in the class, so the ratio was great and Sam wasn't able to get too distracted. He put his face in the water and even held his breath and looked for something. When class was over, he told me that he'd learned an important lesson today:
"There's no need to be afraid of your fears. You just have to do it."
This, from a five-year-old. He's smart, the Sam.

Amazing how profound they can be isn't it?
