Now that Aubrey is three, I moved her up to Parkie's Paddlers which are lessons with an instructor rather than with me. I thought she was ready to make the move, but she has proven me otherwise. After refusing to leave my side for level 2 lessons, she was demoted back down to level 1 where they are more accustomed to kids that are scared, shy, etc. While most of the kids in level 1 sat on the edge to get in the pool, Aubrey was clinging to my side. Luckily, her teacher, Miss Tia, went out of her way to make Aubrey feel comfortable. She took her to get some pool toys (Thomas and starfish) and that was enough to get her in the pool. Although she's not performing to the level that she was at in the Parkie's Babies class, she is doing her front and back floats like a champ. Now if we can just get her to put her face in the water!
