My little fishy dunked today in swimming lessons, yet I'm the one with a completely tense body! He whimpered a bit, but took it like a champ. I, on the other hand, was a wreck the few minutes before as I knew this would cause him some distress. When dunking my poor son under the water, I'm pretty sure I flexed every possible muscle in my body to the point that I probably burned a couple hundred calories.
I now understand the overused parental quote "this will hurt us more than you".
Just glad that first dunk is over!
I remember when we did these lessons with you, we had to push you fully under the water and to another person. THAT was hardest on me! But you, too, were a champ! Sounds like he might be a fish like his mom. :)
