Taper week for IM 70.3 Racine is going as well as can be expected. Yesterday was a 4.8 mile run. Today I will head to the pool for a 1,300 meter swim after Sam goes to bed. I'm starting to feel some nervousness. My stomach feels a little queasy and I doubt that goes away until T1 on Sunday!
Swim lessons for Sam last night went a little better. She still doesn't pay enough attention to the teacher and acts like she is trying to run away from her all of the time. That drives me crazy. I keep trying to tell Sam she needs to sit and listen to the teacher and she should not run away. She says she will but then she doesn't. I hope she continues to improve.
While watching Sam at lessons and listening to he at home I have started to wonder how do we teach her manners. Right now she likes to voice demands such as "I want Mac and cheese", "I want to watch tv" etc. I always ask her to say please and then she will restate the request adding a please to the end. I want her to be polite. I want her to say "may I", "please", "thank you", etc. I also want her to be nice to others and learn to love people. How do I do that? Travis and I aren't social butterflies. I think I need to read some books quickly!
