Well,
We tried the 3 pm swim time. The instructor was a disaster. She held Xander's head under water to get him to do eyes in. He was hysterical. I had to take him out of the water repeatedly to calm him. At the end, he swam and played but then, last evening, he told me what had happened in the class and said, rather plaintively, 'Maybe Ms. Carrie will come back and I can show HER eyes in?' Enough. I lay awake a good part of the night and this morning I called Kinderswimmer. I requested that the boys be switched out of the class. So now we are back to TTH classes, this time at 11 am. Turns out TTH works better for Jason after all -- his baseball game schedule, which we only just received, has his games on MW and Saturday. The class we were in, at 9:30 am, filled up in the interim so we are in at a later time. Sigh. But at least we are back with an instructor that the boys both know and like. We will see how things go on Thursday.
In other, happier news: Trying to turn dross to gold, I have started something that may mushroom out of control -- Jason (and Xander too) love the 'Scooby Doo' Mysteries. They are very definately formulaic and have no real moral value but... since they are formulaic, I have been using them to help Jason recognize writing patterns. We are, in fact, currently 'outlining' one of the stories and Jason is planning to write his own 'Scooby Doo mystery.' I may have to start yet another blog, of the stories he and his brother write. That should be a fun read, don't you think?
Oh, and a heads up: I have added, at the bottom of this blog, a link to the trailer for the newest Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It opens May 25th. Will have to drag Tom off to it for my birthday present!
