He mostly loved it—although I don’t think he liked that I made him rest most days for at least an hour. He took some naps, so I know the down time was needed. He rests at school, so it’s not like I was having him do something unfamiliar. He had some problems with the kids at school because he wasn’t there everyday. Even so, he’s survived and I expect things will go back to normal once he’s back to his normal schedule. He took swimming lessons this summer and went from hesitant to dunk his head to almost swimming. We’ll definitely continue them through the fall/winter so he doesn’t lose the comfort he’s found in the water.
