Eliza had her first swim class at the local YMCA! I was so excited when I woke up in the morning that I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. It was so much fun and I THINK she had a good time. She was the most distracted baby there by far and was looking all around at the people and the lights. She could care less about mommy blowing bubbles and singing. She is considered a shrimp because of her age and that cracks me up. I don't know why but it does. I mean what is smaller than a shrimp-maybe some krill. All of the babies in our class were adorable and their smiling faces really made my day.
The class lasts for six weeks ans is every Saturday morning for 30 minutes. I had a ton of fun and I can't wait until our next class on Saturday. Some skills we practiced were splashing, kicking and blowing bubbles. Now I know all of the songs and motions so we will be old pros. Here are some of the songs that we sang in the class:
- The Hokey Pokey
- If Your Happy and You Know It
- The More We Get Together
- Ring Around the Rosy
- Motorboat
Motorboat, motorboat so so slow
Motorboat, motorboat go so fastMotorboat, motorboat step on the gas Vroom!
She really likes so vroom on her belly and glide across the water. Most times she managed to continue sucking her pointer finger while completing this song.
Motorboat VROOOOOM!
Here are some more pics from our class. I think Eliza looks very fashionable in her swim diaper and bathing suit.
Jump off the lily pad little froggy.
This finger sure is good. What is my crazy mommy doing?
She just looks like she is intently paying attention.
Hi Daddy!
She just loved the part when I threw the ducky and she had to reach for it.
