Day 242 / 365
This is a significant image for us. It depicts a hurdle which Max has overcome this year - school swimming! 2 years ago he did swimming with his school and lasted only a few days, it gave him so much stress we struggled to get him to even go to school. Last year there was no way he was going to do swimming with his school so he stayed behind in another class which to him was the lesser of two evils!! We got him some private lessons which helped his confidence in the water and gave him some necessary skills. 2 weeks ago we talked about trying the swimming lessons this year and he made a brave decision to give it a go so long as I was there to watch. After two days he was moved to a higher level and two days after that was moved to a higher level again. Tomorrow is the last day and I am so proud of his efforts and accomplishments in conquering his fear.
