Swimming Lessons!!

What a fun thing!! We started swimming lessons...believe me I do not expect my almost 6 month old to swim, however it is so Great to have her in the water and just being comfortable with it. We go to swim lessons for 4 Saturdays, for 30 mins each session. There are 2 instructors and 14 children (6-36 months). Brinlie of course is styling in her zebra with hot pink bathing suit, she is so cute...she is also the youngest.
She actually did really good the first time. They instructed us to "blow bubbles" in the water to try and get the babies to put their faces in the water. At first Brinlie was paying no atteniton to me, but then she started getting it, she put her face in the water several times, she even drank some of the water. The tell you to teach them to "spit" when they drink the water. That is hard, she has no idea what spit is!! But you would be surprised what a 6 month old can do naturally. She was kicking her legs...next we will work on her arms. Anyways, we had a good time! I just hope by the end of the 4 weeks, Brinlie & I feel comfortable abou her being in the water, espcially for the boating season on the lake!! I will update picture soon!!
