I promised my boys some goggles if they learned the skills needed to pass the next level of swimming lessons this summer. Evan proudly announced last night that the two were going to keep the results a secret, only to be revealed at dinner tonight, in the presence of Dad. AND, just as I predicted to myself (because the apple never falls very far from the tree) Evan waited until we were approximately 50 feet from the pool to announce "ok ... I can't stand it ... we both passed!" It really was touch and go for him, in particular, and I thought the goggles would be a great motivator to learn a new skill. Canadian Tire had some great ones last summer that made you look like you had shark eyes, or tiger ones. I have a feeling those will be the top pick.
So, now that that is out of the way, I can try and think of a great reward to honour my own hard work on writing more curriculum and planning more of September, that I am sure to start any day now ...
I am thinking these rose-coloured goggles will work wonders for a few years to come.
