Swim Lessons (a.k.a 'No Suit'!)

I had the brilliant idea of enrolling Evelyn in swim lessons at the YMCA this year.  We thought it would help her to be more comfortable around water.  And, long story short, she pretty much hated it from beginning to end!  While she did eventually warm up to the idea of being in the water she never quite accepted the fact that she needed to wear a swimsuit!  When you would try to put it on - she would FREAK out...so after a while we just let her go in her swim diaper.  Even this made her a little nervous - but I reassured her that there would be 'no suit' and that seemed to help.  So whenever we would change into her swim diaper she would wimper, "no suit, no suit" the whole time :(  Once she was in the water and distracted with toys she would do pretty good.  I brought the camera on the last day and took the pics and video below.
