C didnt like water last time during the retreat. So, I was surprised when she said she was interested to go swimming! But once near the pool, C cried vehemently and would not go near the water. Even after a lot of cajoling, pushing, C would not go near it. C saw abigail, etc playing in the pool but still would not go inside. After some time, we thought of using the $6 swimsuit atleast for some time. D grabbed C and handed her over to me, while I am in the pool. C cried and said she wanted to go to amma. Both Felicia and Prisci splashed water on C to make her get comfortable with the pool. Slowly C loosened up and started splashing water on me and others. After some time, C even allowed Felicia to teach her swimming (flapping hands and legs!) However, C was not comfortable in the water and was very happy when we let her go out of the pool.
The next day when i asked her whether she had fun in the pool, she said, yes and wanted to go back there again!
