I took Quentin to a 2 week long swim class at the beginning of summer. The first week went well. He was shy at first, but he built up more confidence every day. Friday of the first week, B took Q to class. On that day, there was a substitute teacher that was too overwhelming for Q and it was downhill from there. He didn't enjoy the second week of class and he wouldn't swim with B anymore. I didn't realize he was still holding his grudge until a couple of weeks ago when we went swimming. When we got to the pool, he told me, "Oooh mama, this is going to be awful..." He just wanted to stay on the first step and wouldn't let B hold him. We took him swimming again last week and had a conversation about forgiveness. We told him it was time to let go of his grudge and forgive daddy. It took a little bit, but he finally gave B a chance. They had a great time swimming together!!
