I recently decided to sign my son up for swim lessons. As I began looking around, I found that the High Desert Oasis was the right place for us. Not only would my son, Kade, receive personal lessons, but she would teach my baby girl, Autumn, at the same time. All she requested of me was that I would be in the pool with her working with Autumn practicing what she taught.
When we arrived for our first session, Mrs. Kristi was super friendly and introduced us to a little gold fish that was given to her by a friend who had moved and couldn't take the fish.
We paid for six lessons and had a blast. My kids were little fishes in the water. They both took to it pretty well. Autumn loved playing and cried at the end of every session when I had to take her out of the water. Kade was splashing and diving underwater in know time, and he was so proud of himself.
At the end of the six sessions, we had a little graduation ceremony for Kade. Mrs. Kristi presented Kade with...drum roll please...her new little fish as a gift. Wasn't that nice? Of course it was delivered with a, "...if it's ok with your Mom." Of course, I had large, brown eyes of a very proud, little boy looking up at me with a question on his heart that said, "Mom, please, I worked so hard."
And that is how we adopted "Goldy" our latest Little Fish.
