First Swim Lessons

You and I took "Mommy and me" swim lessons for eight days at the Miramar College Pool. After spending the last month with me home from work, coupled with the fact that you are just over one year old, you were really clingy to me. I love that you were clingy to me, but it made teaching you to kick difficult. And, going to the instructors was out. :)

Below is a picture of our class. Little Ella (the 11 month old next to you) showed you up on most tasks. She was a trooper! One of your favorite activities was to climb out of the pool and jump back into my arms. SO fun!! Another one was chasing a tennis ball around the pool. It was the only way we could get you to "swim" with your legs out in front of you. I think, overall, you enjoyed it. Oh, another favorite thing was changing back into clothes after swim lessons. We always went to one of the family changing rooms where you would hide things in the lockers for you to find.

Ask me sometime to sing, "Old McDolphin had a pool."
