I hoped it wouldn't happen, that maybe Dr. Barnett would have a meeting and forget all about me. I sure was disappointed when I saw him walk up, all set to work with me on my swimming and floating. I did some pretty amazing things. I didn't even know I could do some of the things I did. He told Mommy we'd be doing some different stuff. He's been doing this for 42 years, so Mommy said I should trust him. Since I am so smart and so coordinated, he changed things up every few minutes. Everything he threw at me, I took on like a champ. Maybe I can get through this! I worked so hard, that I fell asleep on the side of the pool afterward while Dr. Barnett chatted with Mommy. My pediatrician and Dr. Barnett are also good friends. Will I ever be rid of this man?
After my lesson, with Miss Jenn and Dr. Barnett. I was not a happy girl.
Even though I kick, Dr. Barnett said I almost have a perfect float.
Flipping off the side of the pool, as if I fell in, Dr. Barnett is telling Miss Jenn that I am a very good problem solver and part of the reason I kick is because I am bored with the situation. I am bored with just floating around. He says I need a variety of opportunities to practice my skills in. I need to keep my hands down, to push my face and chest up to float calmly.
A vertical drop in. I'm much calmer with my float now. The calmest I have ever been.
Another vertical drop in and I am bored already.
I tend to always want to rotate one way, so we are working on rotating up, from face down, the other way.
