Eva's Swim Lessons

So today was the first day of swim lessons for Eva. She was so excited (that's a complete understatment). She was bouncing in her seat all the way there and practically broke down the door to get in. Once we were in we went to the ladies locker room to get her clothes off and rinse off and get in the pool. Eva took off her clothes in record time...around the corner there was an old naked lady and Eva gave this weird look like, "What is she doing naked?" it was hilarious. Anyway, we get to the pool and Eva's teacher seemed like a really sweet girl and there were only two other kids in the class, both girls! Eva did well, she listened and at one point they had the girls jump in and Eva of course wanted to hold the teachers hand to do it...she is all girl when it comes to her fear of doing things...and Eva didn't realize that they were in deeper water so when she jumped in she went under (of course) and she must have breathed in or something because she came up with eyes as big as baseballs and grabbing her nose saying it hurt and she was freaked out! I was just saying to myself over and over, "please don't cry, please don't cry." She looked over at me and I just gave her a huge smile and thumbs up and told her it was ok, that she did a good job...thankfully she didn't cry (yesssss).
After that they had a little free time to play with balls and whatever else and then the bell rings to let you know it's over and Eva flipped out. She just started bawling and didn't want it to be over yet, I had to explain to her that we were coming back on wednesday and it was a twice a week thing and swim lessons weren't completly over they were just over for today. It took a lot to calm her down. This is what she said back in the locker room:
"Mommy I'll stop crying if when we get home I can have one of those brown cookies(girl scout tagalongs)."
--unfortunately for Eva mommy finished all of the brown cookies...several days ago.--
So I told her we would go to Jamba Juice for a treat...she was ok with that. Now that I know there's a Jamba Juice in town, I will be there much more often.
On the way over to Jamba I attempted to parrallel park with the van...that was a joke. I was sweating and felt like a you know what, the spot was perfect! So then I just gave up and tried to find somewhere else to park...I ended up turning around, going back down the street and then turning again and then I found a spot...where I didn't have to parallel park...but I did have to pay :(
Regardless we got out smoothies and Eva is now napping...and Elle is screaming. The End.
