After noticing that Kate seemed to enjoy her time in the bathtub (and even, most days, in the shower), we decided to sign her up for itty bitty baby swimming lessons. The classes run for 45 minutes for four weeks on Saturday morning, and require mom or dad to be in the water along with the little swimmer. Kate had her first lesson this past weekend and we're proud to announce that she was a superstar! The class is kiddos six months and up who are looking for their first pool experience. We got up and moving Saturday morning and dressed Kate in her swimmy diaper and bathing suite, packed up and headed to the YMCA. Yet again, Kate was the smallest and youngest baby in her class, but she was one of the most interested too! A few of the older kids didn't even want to get into the water and screamed and cried the whole time (I realize that by typing this with the smug little undertone, I am probably setting us up for a screaming baby next week), but Kate was a little trooper. She and Brandon stayed in the pool for the whole 45 minutes, and she was pretty tuckered out for the rest of the day once we left. I didn't get into the water with them--next weekend it will be my turn--so I played paparazzi mommy and took tons of pictures. Here are some of the best ones I got from the lesson...
-- This is the biggest bath tub I've ever seen! --
-- The wheels on the bus go up (like me!) and down --
-- Getting together as a class --
-- Doing a little kick-kicking --
-- No baby bikinis here --
-- Listening to the teacher --
-- Taking a break --
-- Practicing "scooping" --
-- Surfing on a kick board --
-- Mommy wanted a picture of Daddy and I, but this boat floating by is too interesting! --
