Big Words

Ben told his swim teacher today that he was "stressed and very concerned" about blowing bubbles, moving his arms, and kicking his feet at the same time. I think she had a hard time keeping a straight face. I was just glad that he didn't cry. He was "stressed, frustrated, and very concerned" that I was leaving him at swim lessons and going to run errands. (I shouldn't have let him overhear me tell John that I would run an errand for him while Ben was at swim lessons.) There was a kid in complete meltdown before swim lessons and Ben had to work very hard to be brave.
