Sarah & Henry had their first of four swimming lessons this afternoon. Poor Henry gave the instructor a pretty tough time, but after I pulled him out of the lesson and told him that only good listeners get lessons, he pulled himself together and did a much better job. (Henry was a little freaked out and while that was normal and OK, it got to the point where it was wasting Sarah & Mike's time and my money--I'd rather just Sarah get the lesson if Henry was going to freak out the whole time.) Hopefully we can practice again before the next lesson to get Henry more relaxed. Sarah said she had a hard time understanding Mike's thick Singaporean accent and he is a pretty big guy, so that was probably part of Henry's problem, too. Hopefully the next lesson will be better for everyone!
