We Heart Waterbabies!

I have been looking forward to water babies with Avery for a very long time, we finally decided this this spring semester would be the right time. So, since Avery has really been wanting to sport his new undersized physique so we put on our swimsuits and bared all most. (look what I learned to do)Does that gut say undersized to you? Let me tell you squeezing those chubby little legs into the super tight reusable swim diapers for 2 layers was interesting. I don't envy girl moms squeezing chubby legs for tights on Sunday mornings. The teacher for our class was Miss Jean and you can see he thought she was great. We really liked swimming in our boats, too. This little girl, Gabby, was the class stand out. She had water babies last fall and can already swim 10 feet underwater!
Avery thought it was so cool when we did all our stations especially the one on the step where he got to play with the rings.
We also got to swim around to catch all the balls... huge fun.
Most importantly, Avery got to splash and splash!
I spent half of the class trying to hear above his squeals and look around the splashes to see what else the class was doing.
To end the class he got to float on the square float and wave (another of our new tricks) to all our new friends. We had so much fun and were sooo tired when it was over. He actually slept through lunch at Chick Fil-A in his carrier, he hasn't slept at a lunch in his carrier in months. If you have water babies in your neck of the woods... GO!
And a big thanks to Daddy for going and taking pictures for us!

How fun!!! What a great time for both of you. I think if I had done waterbabies when I was that age, maybe I would know how to swim. And I wouldn't have to put "learn how to swim" on my 30 before 30 list. Can a 29 yr old enroll???
