Mason couldn't wait to get into the water. He was so excited I thought he was going to pee himself. And he did, in the pool...he told his entire class. As for Boogie...well...he's not so much a fish in the water as he is a CAT in the water. This is how he spent his ONE and ONLY swim class....
Like a terrified kitty up in a tree. It broke my heart that he was so scared, but at the same time I couldn't help but laugh at this picture. He was NOT going in that water and there was no talking him into it. Trust me, I tried. I sweet talked, I bribed, I threatened, I begged. Nothing. Zip. Nada.
So with one class under his belt Boogie has officially 'thrown in the towel'. HA!! Get it?! The towel?! Swim...yeah..anyway. But, at least I get to check it off my list. And Mason still gets to pee in the pool, so it's pretty much a win-win.
pee ess- don't forget to enter the giveaway!!!
awwwwww! HAHAHAAHHA...poor guy!!! was it cold?!?! has he swam before?!? what was going on??
ReplyDeleteas for the mr.peebody...that is flippen hilarious! i love that he announced it to his entire class!!! hey! he was just trying to warm things up and make the ladies comfortable! what a gentleman!
haha!! that is priceless!!
ReplyDeletei never liked swimming lessons as a child either,
the water was always way too cold!!!
Don't feel too bad. My son was terrified of the water and would scream and cry and cling to the sides of the pool. He's 19 now and still doesn't like swimming. Some kids just don't.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I can completely remember a very similar moment from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI started Hayden in swim lessons this week too. He is a fish, totally LOVE the water. Listening to his teacher and not splashing the other kids, now that is some he needs to work on.
ReplyDeleteThat's too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's the thing. We had swimming lessons when I was his age. I wouldn't even get close enough to the water to sit where he was. LOL
ReplyDeletepoor little boogie!!! he's so frightened! tell him it's okay, auntie naners didn't learn to swim til i was forced to as a teenager and look how normal i am! (ha...hahaha!)
ReplyDeleteHey, my youngest was terrified of the water for quite some time, and now she's a competitive swimmer in college. Go figure!
ReplyDeletePoor little nugget!
ReplyDeleteAlthough that picture did make me LOL out loud.
Poor Boogie! That's terrible to be sooooo scared! Mason is just an old chip off the block huh? Daddy must be so proud! Why are men always so proud of boys peeing everywhere but the toilet? These are the questions that boggle my mind.
ReplyDeleteawww poor kid :( i never learned how to swim until i was a teen...not great motivational story but hey.....
ReplyDeleteps...absolutley love the picture...priceless :)
Aw, that picture of Boogie reminds me of the swim class where they taught us how to dive. Like really dive, head-first, off of a big-kid diving board. I stood at the edge of the board, staring down into the water, frozen. Just. Couldn't. Do. It. Other than that, I was a fish and loved swimming though, and I was rather good at it.
ReplyDeleteBoogie will find some other non-water sport that he enjoys!
oh NO! Poor Boogie. Both of my kids were like that but have grown out of that phase. Make sure to have him try it again soon.
ReplyDeletetoo cute, poor babyes!
ReplyDeletePoor lil Boogie made me laugh so freakin' hard. I think he has a death grip on those polls, too.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest is like that too...never leaves the steps!
ReplyDeleteAwwwww! Poor boogie! Nothing worse than being afraid of the water... my sis-in-law can't swim and I just can't fathom it!
ReplyDeleteThat is totally hilarous how Mason told everyone he pee'd in the pool!!!! I'm taking miss m for some swim lessons this summer and I really hope she likes the water!
ReplyDeleteThis picture is PRICELESS! Hahahaha! But seriously, poor little guy, he'll warm up to the idea eventually though. Logan was kind of scared at first so we just threw him in. I know, we're such kind parents. Once he was in (and stopped crying) he realized it was fun and now we can't get him out of the pool. Just a thought...
ReplyDeleteOMG, I leaked a little urine when I saw that picture. ha ha ha ha! Poor little dude. :(
ReplyDeleteNO worries...I have pictures like that of my youngest and he LOVES to swim now. I still cling to the sides though.
ReplyDeleteI love how he protected himself between the bars!
My kids did ONE swimming lesson too. Can't say I was that upset because I don't like to swim either...but I lost $60 on the deal.
ReplyDeletecat in a tree indeed! poor little guy. at least mason got to pee in the pool. that's the coolest part.
ReplyDeleteI am putting my 2-yr old son in swim lessons this summer and I hope he loves it. When I was little, I took swim lessons at the local YMCA and for some reason, there was a giant Tweety Bird painted on the bottom of the pool. That thing scared me so bad that I wouldn't get in!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute for words. Poor little guy!!!
ReplyDeleteWhite knucklin' it! Make sure that makes it to his wedding video!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I look about the same at the pool (wish I was kidding :D
ReplyDeleteOh poor Boogie, but that is a great picture! I hated swimming too, I eventually took the lessons, but I am more of a lay by the pool rather than get in the pool girl :-)
ReplyDeleteSo funny. Don't you just love little boys???
ReplyDeleteBAH!!!! that picture is hilarious! i am sure he is ok with getting in the bathtub, so why the fear of the pool? how weird!
ReplyDeletei refused to take swimming lessons as a kid when i saw how HUMILIATED my much too-old siblings were when they tried to learn. they were probably 8 and 9 years old, learning to swim with the little ones. they were so embarrassed! ay yi yi. needless to say, i think it is good to get the little ones to swim early. i still suck at swimming -- my own fault! -- and pretty much dog paddle in the water. ha!
LOL OMG that is the CUTEST thing I've ever seen! HA! Too funny about peeing in the pool and telling everyone too! *BIG GRIN* I've missed you my friend! Things have been so busy but I've not forgotten about ya! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! Have a great weekend! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteso i'm gonna sound like a freakin terrible mom but i have NO PATIENCE for kids who are scared of the freakin water. wtc right?
ReplyDeleteso annoying. UR HAVE FLOATIES ON AND A LIFE JACKET, you're not gonna drowned. stop ur whining.
sheesh, i'm mean.
That pic will haunt him when he's older! Just about everyone learns to swim eventually...it might just be too soon. Could you get into the water with him and hold him for the first few lessons? That's what I had to do with Kid #1 when he started his lessons when he was 3. He had me in a death-grip for the first 3 or 4 lessons...then slooowly started to get used to it!
ReplyDeleteAt least he looks adorably cute hangin' out in his "tree".
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get the boys in the water again this year!
Oh poor baby! Its funny how he really stuck to his guns.
ReplyDeleteMy kids are going to be tortured with swim lessons this summer. I know they are going to hate it.
lol last week Greg simply jumped into the sea he was so happy to be there :)
