Thumbs up!

Today was the first swimming lesson where an additional student joined Lukas for the lesson. Caden is 11 months younger than Lukas, but has more swimming experience, so Lukas' instructor thought he would help Lukas by showing how it's done...and Lukas would help Caden come out of his shell as Lukas talks the entire lesson!

I didn't think it was going well, because I only saw Lukas NOT responding to the instructor promptly when she asked him to come to her. But at the end of the lesson, she gave me two thumbs up and a big smile and said Lukas actually did much better during the lesson (the swimming part, not the "coming when called" part), because he did copy what Caden was doing.

So Lukas has a swimming buddy! The next step is to see if we can get a better time slot for our lesson during the next 8-week session. Caden's mom would also prefer an earlier time, but we have to wait two weeks to see if no one else re-ups for the instructor's current classes at earlier times...then we could move to the earlier time. Arrrgh! I want to know now!
