This one falls into the category of “things that you laugh at that you shouldn’t laugh at”.
Ellie started up her swimming lessons again this week (after her first round last summer). While she was effectively learning how not to drown last year, this year the plan is to get some movement going. She loves the water and she enjoys going in the pool at home, but she is not a fan of going to swimming lessons. She cries at the sight of her swimming costume and generally cries throughout the whole lesson.
In an effort to calm Ellie down on her first day, Miss T told Ellie that she would be finished when the timer goes off (as each lesson is just 10 minutes long), encouraging her that it wouldn’t be long until it was over. However, this snowballed out of control and now after every dunk beneath the water, she comes up crying and yelling “When the timer goes off!”. Every time. Without fail. I think she’s the only one that doesn’t see the funny side (yet).
