Little Prince I mean! As yesterday at his swimming lesson he was more like Little Monster!! There was only him and a little girl in the class, both with similar levels of swimming ability. The teacher would set them off to swim to the other side of the pool, and Little Prince would deliberately swim diagonally across the little girl so that he could come first. Or if he couldn't manage that he grabbed the back of her costume a couple of times! He also kept ducking under the water when the teacher was talking to him! I was so cross with him! Once they were dry and dressed after the lesson, I made him apologise to the little girl and tell her he wouldn't do any more crashing next week. On the way home I warned him that if he repeated the behaviour next week, that he would be taken out of his lesson and brought home and that would happen each time until he chose to be nice to his fellow pupils and listen to his teacher. Hopefully the message will have got across!!

as a swimming teacher ; ) i share in your frustration (hee hee ; )
but your stirn talking to will i'm sure have the desired affect.
The teacher could of course have sent one off at a time, or have them at opposite sides of the pool....but not to worry, lil prince could make a great water polo player one day : )
Hows it going other wise my girl?
the wait is sooo hard, so im just popping in to say hang on in there.
Thinking of you

Hi Shawn :-)
I'm hoping that the stern talking to will work!! I'm going to ring his teacher before his next lesson so that we both are saying the same things to him - behave nicely and safely and stay in the lesson, behave dangerously and come home!! He loves his lessons and really wants to stay, so I think he will be better next week. Fingers crossed anyway!!
Thank you for your encouragement :-)
Take care
Love
Janet
