Elsie started swimming lessons at our local rec center … she is a star-baby! We signed up with Kyla (one of Elsie’s friends and a former birth class couple). These lessons focused on acclimating the little star babies to water – including being dunked under (mostly by dad). We got a few new suits for the class … here she is ready for her fist lesson.
in the water … wondering how long until I try to dunk her under water
Kyla and Tara in the water
A new green suit – with a little daisy! (and a dad to match)
After class baby chatting…
A chocolate suit 🙂
Elsie was instantly a kicker! Like a little frog both of her legs were moving constantly … until she reached for a toy (reach and kick is a tough one!)
And a surprise visitor to swimming … GRAMMIE! (cute suit grammie)
We have one more class before we are done – and elsie is definitely loving the water. She doesn’t even mind being dunked… we got some footage our first night … including a sad elsie after her first dunk. 🙂
