Swim Baby Swim

Taylee is now taking swimming lessons. Yes, I know, it may be a little bit early, but we are trying to get her acclimated to water. They say the earlier you start, the safer your kids will be around water. And, believe it or not, she is NOT the youngest kiddo in the class. There is an 8 month old, enrolled in her SECOND session. In general, it ain't gonna hurt, and it just might help. She is not a water baby, but she is content enough in the water. Rather than enjoying playtime in the pool, she spends most of the lesson watching the other kids. You may notice this in the pictures. Getting a direct shot of her has been quite challenging. We practice "jump-ins" where she "swims" to the wall then grabs the wall, face plants from which she rolls to her back, swimming on her back, and mostly, we play lots of games and sing songs. In general, it feels good to get out and do something to celebrate summer. I spent lots of time in the water growing up, and I hope Taylee will too!
