Aquatots Class #1

Katie had her first Aquatots class recently and it was fun (for me at least!)
Grandma and Grandpa came along, since Daddy was sick. Katie loves the bath tub and her baby pool, but I think she was a little hesitant about such a big pool. We learned how to get into the pool with a baby and also did exercises to teach them swimming on their belly and backs. As you can see, Katie did not enjoy the back float/swim. I don't think she liked her head in the water...or maybe she was scared because she couldn't see me.

At least she was stylish in her pink and purple bathing suit! The other babies are all around her age and an equal mix of boys and girls, so it is fun to see them all in the water. In between each "exercise", we get back in a circle and sing songs. Katie really liked that! On the left is a picture of her fellow Aquatots (we're on the left hand side of the circle).
They also have a ramp on the side of the pool, so they kids can "walk" out. That was one of Katie's favorite parts, mainly because she could see Grandma taking pictures at the top of the ramp. We know she's a poser! We missed this weekend's class because of a trip to NJ, but we'll be back there next weekend and I think Daddy is going in! Woohoo!
