Alycia and Sherilyn had their first swimming lesson on Tuesday. The gals were really excited and enjoyed themselves. I had wanted to follow them to the pool but baby was still napping, so I stayed home and watched them at the pool with their instructor from the 5th floor of our condo.
All set to go down to the pool…
These pix were snapped from my kitchen… on the 5th floor. Standing in my kitchen and carefully watching my 2 gals, I felt like a sleuth… and I zoomed my camera to the max to snap these pix muahahaha…. not bad eh?
That’s the instructor teaching Alycia how to hold her breath when her head is inside the water, whilst Sher (in blue) looked on ….
And when it’s finally Sher’s turn, my scardy cat clung on to the instructor like a koala bear and chickened out. During the half an hour lesson, this fler asked mah mah to bring her to the loo twice and went up once to wipe her body and complained of being cold. This fler who always wants things done her way did not do as being told by the instructor. At the end of the trial lesson, the instructor told my mil that Sher is a tad too young to follow instructions and didn’t want to teach her. Haih…. that was exactly what happened when we brought her to the trial ballet class last year. The teacher didn’t want to accept her to the class and she had to wait for a year before she was accepted.
And btw, Alycia has told us that she wants to stop her ballet lessons 🙁 What a waste eh…. after all that she had gone through and daddy had to spend a fortune on her costume. Alycia’s more of an outdoor person who prefers sweating it out. She even said she wants to learn tennis and karate. Well, tennis and karate will have to come next year. I’ve found a tennis instructor who is a resident at our condo and he teaches kids tennis at our condo. The karate lessons are also conducted at our condo.

I wish my kids learn swimming too. Too bad Alycia don’t want to continue her ballet.
Alycia is so cute….she is my fav so is baby C. I love reading their stories and you are a great mother…keep that up 🙂
hmm its such a waste… nvm can keep the costume for sherilyn next time hehe
think Sherilyn is too young for all this..
hmm..its really a waste to stop ballet now..why not ask her to consider again.
Seems like there are quite a number of advantages living in a condo environment in addition to security. So convenient to send them to such fun classes within the vicinity.
wow, ur condo really happening eh. mine used to have a mat salleh lady teaching kids how to swim too but the girl was like a year old then and now, the lady has stopped teaching.
yes, a pity that alycia doesn’t want to continue but forcing her to continue also wouldn’t be an option if her heart is not in it. i was forced to learn ballet when i was younger and totally hated it. anyway, karate has it’s benefits esp when it comes to self defense. i wld encourage all kids to pick this up actually. 😉
from the photo, it doesn’t look like a children’s pool eh? maybe Sher is afraid of the deep pool? I’m also worried that Ashley may not like it after I sign her up for swimming 🙁 I’m starting her with music first..hehehee
if she is the outdoor type, then yes, she wouldnt like ballet. its good that she is active too.
hhhhm… karate??? better be careful not to get into her path… else… one kick coming right up!!
first time sure scare. just see the big pool, i also scare. Going for karate, so cool!
wah…your condo has so many types of lessons for kids? so convenient!
Wow tat’s a big pool.
aiya..i thot it’s a waste too that alycia is stopping ballet…ballet’s such a beautiful movements, i admire it a lot !! swimming is good too….life saving tool 🙂
that is what i thought also, my boys still too young to follow the instruction, that’s why i didn’t sign them up for swimming class.
I’m also planning to let Ivan learn swimming… but that boy ah, what also dowan 🙁
HUH! My dotter wants to stop teckwando and learn ballet! She even wants to stop violin to learn piano! I did not give in to her. I say you finish whatever you pick up.
