Pre-Swim Class

Today, I picked Peyton up, and I was hesitant to ask her what was wrong this morning, for fear it would mess up her class. The teacher told her I was there and it was time to go. Ms. Daisy called out from the closet to tell me “She’s fine, Mom!” Peyton never ended up telling her what was wrong, so I told her I’d try to find out. She was in a jovial mood, so I thought it would be okay to ask her. I asked her simply, “What was up this morning? Why were you so cranky?” She was nonchalant about it, and she said, “My tummy hurt.” I asked her when she started to feel better, and she just said, “Oh, after we came in from recess.” WOW! I really don’t know if it’s car sickness or what, but lately, she’s not been doing well in the car, and especially after swimming. So, we arrived about 30 minutes early to class. I had her change in the car, but I noticed inside that the swim trunks may be backwards. She pulled them down to check the tag, and sure enough, they were backward. Also, she still had her underwear on! I took her inside the changing room and pulled the curtain back. I peeked to see that she wasn’t sitting her bare bottom on the chair, and she said, “Don’t look; I don’t want anyone to see my penis!” Clearly, she’s been listening to SOMEONE else…maybe Brandon? Or one of the boys at school? I was so shocked that I didn’t correct her. We were in the store, somewhat out of view, but still it wasn’t appropriate to talk to her about it then. We went back to the pool and waited our turn. We still didn’t see Dave or Brandon, though Dave’s car was parked, so we left to walk around the other part of the strip mall to see if we could find them. There was an Indian grocery store, and I’d never been in one before, so we walked around. I half-expected to see Dave there, but we didn’t. He later told me he’d gone in there as well. We walked up one aisle and down another before Peyton said, “It stinks in here.” I took that as my cue to leave, as I didn’t want her to keep repeating it. I took her down a spice aisle, and asked her to sniff there. It was very “spicy” smelling, and she just isn’t into Indian food.

The swim class went well!  The kids were really practicing their strokes, getting down the pool.  Ready Set Go! Backstroke. Race. Diving. She had them go together, and Peyton did a good job of big arms.  Brandon was able to get across the pool by himself, when Peyton was working on it.  He has a water field trip coming up, and he needs to be able to do a half lap, and tread water for a minute.  I think I’m more confident in him being able to go the distance, but now he’ll have to work on treading water.  I can work with him on this at the club.  Dave wants him to fail the swim test as it will be safer for him.  I’d just feel badly as he won’t be able to swim around with his friends and may be relegated to the shallow end, with the younger kids most likely.  We went to dinner at a restaurant in the neighboring strip mall, but had to find something “tame” for Peyton to eat post-swimming.  She whined in the car home, but I tried to distract her.  She still threw up when we got home.  She must be drinking way too much chlorine, or she has some kind of aversion since her near-drowning.  We’re not sure what to do, other than Dave’s proposal to STOP swimming.  That’s kind of not an option, as she will eventually have to learn not to drink so much of it.  Her gag reflex is still in full force.  She’s my baby bulemic 🙁
