Jackson had his first swimming lesson today!! Mum thought it would be great for Marcel and Jackson to have some special dad/son time together. Well, these 'special moments' don't always go according to plan . Jackson ended up crying and screaming throughout the whole lesson. 'Lesson' being the operative word here! It was a learning time for mum standing at the side of the pool giving encouraging smiley messages on one hand to dad and on the other hand warning expressions not to mess this up and be encouraging to OUR son. And it was a learning time for dad to not let his manly pride get in the way of encouraging his son to be courageous through what was obviously a trying time.

(I know it is SO wrong to capture my son like this!! )

......... to be continued with lesson 2 (LOL!)
