Swim class on Tuesday brought us a new adventure, face in water...eeek! Needless to say, I was a weeee bit nervous about this one. Was I pushing my luck with my little girl by making her swim in a less than warm pool, doing all kinds of new and challenging things like kicking and "swimming" in the water? So far she had been so good. But, would this be too much on my baby? How would she react???
Great! We started off slow.
A little dripping on the head, running down the back. Then...
accidentally on purpose, Momma nervously dumped practically the entire bucket of water on her head. Still, she was completely happy. A little shiver of surprise, but no fussing at all. I have the best little mermaid! We moved into the pool and continued more of the fun.
First we practiced holding on to the wall.
Then we "motorboated". Seriously, its a song we sing going around in a circle on her belly.
Then we played with the noodles to float.
Then we make our way around the lazy river (which is our favorite part! See Skipper to the left? He was there to watch with Nana.)
I like how we both look like we're concentrating really hard!
Here we are, post wet-face and no crying!
And we complete post wet-face with a little water snuggles.
Despite the fact that in none of these pictures she is smiling, she actually did really enjoy herself. Up next tomorrow, a full submersion. OH MAN! Fingers crossed!
