What a difference a year makes

So we started swim lessons again. Last year, Little Man LOVED the water and had a blast. This year, not so much. I'm assuming it's because he realizes what is going on or something? At the last lesson I put him underwater and he freaked. I mean, screamed incessantly for the rest of the lesson. He was sooo mad at me. Today he did a little better, but still really fought me the whole time. He didn't want to kick his legs or swim around, just really wanted to play with the toys the instructor had. It's funny. I was sure he was going to love it, and that's really not the case! I dread going back because keeping him contained is so draining. BUT I know I have to keep going, it will get better, and hopefully he'll start to like it. Oy.
