Swimming!


This week Elijah had his first swimming lessons. I was really looking forward to swimming with him because I thought Elijah would have a blast in all that water! I know that I shouldn't have expectations about what my kid will and won't like - he's allowed his own opinion! But I just assumed, based on how much he loves taking a bath ... I was wrong. Not that either lesson was horrible, but Elijah has been a bit freaked out by being in the pool. It takes him a while to decide that it is safe, and then he has lots of fun, and then he gets freaked out again at the end when he has to go under water for a second. Anyway, Patrick came after work this evening and got some pictures and video of the fun part of swimming lessons - playing with toys!

  3. We are joining the local YMCA so that when Rylee is six months old we can do the same. It looks like a lot of fun.

  4. somehow the fun of a few gallons of water in a cute ducky doesn't translate to the 1000 gallon pool...silly. he looks like he was having fun though. we went to a pool in pgh and lily was jumping off the sides of the big pool into our arms. she's so daring!
