My Little Fishy

This past Saturday, you had your very first swimming lesson! You'll have one every Saturday for the rest of this month, then I think we'll start going every other weekend! It's a 30 minute class at the Houston Swim Club, they have a very nice, indoor, saltwater pool. You really liked being in the water! We sang songs and clapped our hands. We practiced kicking, blowing bubbles, monkey walking (this is when you hold onto the wall and scoot yourself along!), floating on your back, and going down the slide! I'll admit...mommy was a little nervous about letting you go under water, I need to work on my nerves, and you need to work on learning to blow bubbles instead of trying to drink the water:) You were not a big fan of being on your back in the water, but you loved sitting on the wall and "jumping in" and you really loved putting the barbells under your arms and floating along (you are actually supposed to practice kicking with the barbells, but at this point, i think you just prefer to float along...we'll get there! Below are some pics of your first lesson. They aren't the best pics...daddy was watching us from the other side of the glass, but he still managed to get a few good ones!

 This is you at the house, before we left for your first lesson!

 Here we are singing "row your boat", and flipping our hands through the water

 here's one of your favorite parts, using the barbells to float

 here we are singing "motor boat, motor boat"...you loved spinning around in the water

and your not-so-favorite, floating on your back!
