Success!

    Molly had swimming lessons again today. We missed last week so I didn't know what to expect. We got halfway there when I realized that I had forgotten her bathing suit and towel at home. I didn't want to miss the lesson again, but I also didn't want to be 30 minutes late. I decided to hurry home and then take a different route to see if I could get there faster. She ended up only being 10 minutes late. She came up to me after the class was over and said, "They were nice to me for the first time!" I decided to have her stay for free swim even though we had friends coming over for a playdate and it would cut it close. I wanted to see what would happen. Molly played by herself and left the girls alone. They ended up coming over to her and playing with her! I think that they probably felt as bad as we did after that horrible day. Maybe us missing last week also helped break the cycle. She said that they learned to be nice because she showed them how to be a good friend. All I know is that she had a good time, the girls got along, and Molly ended up feeling very good that she persevered:)
