Mommy and Me Swim Classes

Some friends and I decided that it would be fun to enroll the kiddos in a swim class. So Lucy and I signed up for a two week course, with four sessions per week. The age range was of the class was 6-18 months so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
We sang a bunch of songs and did activities. Lucy really liked the one where I'd hold her on her belly facing me and she'd kick her legs as we walked up and down the pool(singing a kicking song of course). She also liked Humpty Dumpty, where the babies sat on the edge of the pool and then would be pulled in on the "had a great fall" verse. They quickly learned to anticipate this and would lean in during that part
The one thing that scared me a little is when we had to dunk our babies. We would count to three and then blow in their face(so they'd hold their breath) and the quickly dunk them. Lucy didn't seem to mind it at all but it freaked me out!
Swim class was fun and I'll definitely do it again next year!

About to be dunked!

It looks like Lucy might become a real water bug!
We had a great time this past weekend and are already looking forward to the next get together.
