last plea for lessons...

J is desperate for swimming lessons. He has been dragged to watch CO take swimming lessons for over a year and I've been telling him all along that he had to wait until he turned three. This past fall He started anticipating his birthday after Christmas knowing that it meant he could then take lessons too. When I asked his SW last week if I could sign him up, she did not hesitate to say no.
I asked if it was possible to relay to the grandparents J's desire for lessons and have them sign him up. The answer was that there is no indoor pool in thier town and it wouldn't be something they would be interested in doing in the winter as they would have to travel over a half hour to an indoor pool.
So today I gave one last plea on J's behalf for swim lessons. The SW said she would talk to her supervisor. If he moves before the lessons are up, the hope is that he would come and spend Thursdays with us until the lessons are over. Which means that after he moves, contact could continue weekly for a few weeks afterwards...which would be good for everyone I think.

doesn't this boy look ready to swim???
