Once upon a time I had a fearless baby who got dunked by Mr. Will in the pool and surfaced with a cough or two, then pushed her wet hair out of her face. When she accidentally dunked herself, she came up sputtering but good. Mr. Will taught her to raise her arms and say, "Hallelujah! if she accidentally swallowed water. She even jumped off the side of the pool into Mr. Will's waiting arms. My baby was a rock star....and now, now she's a crying mess on Saturdays.
Thank you, Lord, for only giving me one screecher! I have my very own Black Canary. But Layla is no short stop in the never ending tears department. Mr. Will use to give them lessons together, but when the baby started morphing into a crying baby, he started doing individual lessons. Sadly, it hasn't helped.
As soon as Layla sees Rowan starting the water works, her empathy over takes her and her tears begins to flow too. The feeding off each other makes swimming lessons loads of fun. Ah twin power gotta love it.
