Mommy & Me

I signed Ava up for Parent-Child swim "lessons" through Parks & Rec. We've had a pretty good time. The idea is to help the kids to become more comfortable with the water. My teaching artner Diane and her daughter also signed up so we get to play in the pool together. The class meets at the Indoor Aquatic Center (I love not having to mess with sunscreen but that means I will remain bright white) for 25 minutes a day for 2 weeks.

Although Ava is the youngest in the class by a few months, she is the chattiest! It's interesting to see your child in a class setting like that. She's also becoming more independent - trying to shrug my hand away as she walks into water up to her chest. I don't think so Miss Ava.

Today we worked on going underwater. She did pretty well but still hasn't learned to take a breath first. We're also still working on learning to blow bubbles. Oh well - the point is to have fun and that is what it's all about in my mind.
