Crash has been in multiple swimming programs for several years. He has never been able to handle the sensation of wearing goggles. We’ve tried over and over again without success. It’s not a huge deal for him to swim without them, but I did believe that putting his face in the water could be more pleasant for him with his eyes protected. So, periodically we’ve been giving it a try.
Last Monday, we put them on and he kept them on. He took them off part way through, but this was a huge success in my book.
So many things we’ve taken for granted with our other kids are major accomplishments for this little guy: putting on his own pants, getting into his booster seat on his own, putting away his toothbrush... It’s not lost on me that slowing down and noticing all these seemingly small movements toward independence is a blessing. We are grateful for you, Little Man.
He and Spike are able to swim at the same time in the same program, which I LOVE. Here they are:
