So the start of summer, we had huge plans (as always)!!!
And as the summer started to fade, I realized we were just setting other priorities over the vacation.
Summer vacation is not fruitful unless you have got one thing enjoyed and learnt, under ur belt.
So all of us have been oggling at a beautiful view of family/ies swimming in the near-by pool and the idea gave birth to action. I decided we gotta atleast get both the kids in the pool for few days (ya the Bigger kid wanted to stay as far away as possible)
Day one
Took Chiku and Sunny to the pool in the evening. Bought them new suits and accessories to get them excited and have fun. They did enjoy everythin about the accessory and nothing about the pool. Both of them were crying and wailing. Esp Chiku, she learnt to swim in the baby pool and refused to come in the bigger pool. Baba jus wudn't let go of me.
Day Two
Realised won't be able to teach both of them at the same time. So, though, took both of them to swim, decided to keep baba in the pool for only 15 mins. He, atleast learnt to kick his legs with loads of yelling. Then teaching chiku was a bit easier.
Day Three
Baba decided he didn't wanted to come for swim.
I was alright. He is small and needs time to get over thefear of water. Undivided attention to Cuckoo and she started to swim on her own about half a distance. That was the motivation for me to take time out to ameke sure we swam every single day (for whatever was left of the vacation).

Day 15th
Baba chose to come and swim for about 10mins and then change his clothes and prefer to sit and watchus swim.
Cuckoo has been doing her rounds in the shallow side and now it was time to move to the deeper side. We both decided to head to the deeper side. Cuckoo was coaxed by some of the gals her age who were swimmin without the float at the deeper end. Finally that day she did few laps from the DEEPER END to the SHALLOW END. Woooooowwwwwwwww!!!!
She saw some gals jumping and swimming 25M stretches. Cuckoo decided to give it a go(with a very lil/tini tiny encouragement from Me). She did with so lil effort. I was in awwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
That day my lil gals act encouraged me to go the entire 25Ms.
I have been reluctant to do 25M, thinking I do not have the stamina, hence i have been doing the horizontal laps, a number of times.
In the beginning, I thought I was teaching her to swim, but in the end, Cuckoo taught me to overcome my own shortcomings and give it a go anyways!!!
Cuckoo, my Rockstar!!!
Luv Mumma.
