Aunt Mechelle, Allison, Maddie and I- all attended swim classes for the last two weeks. The girls didn't enjoy it as much as I thought they would. There were 5 Mommies and 5 girls. Maddie was the youngest and the oldest girl was 3.
This was probably one of their favorite parts... getting wet in the showers before class.
We began each class by singing and moving around to the songs- Ring-a-around-the-rosie, and the Wheels on the bus.
The class was really basic. They were learning how to blow bubbles, kick, and reach up for the side. We were trying to get the girls to kick their feet. Maddie needed me to move her legs up and down.
Our instructor, Ms. Sarah, was really patient and understanding with our whiny little girls. Here she is about to take Maddie and have her "swim" or "sink" I mean "glide" to me. Maddie didn't like this very much but we clapped and clapped and made a big deal when she came up out of the water. She usually clapped while crying. We only did this a couple times over the 2 week period.
Yeah! Swim class is over...
Let's hit the Splash Park!
Maddie really had a great time running around in the water and getting in and out of the kiddie pool.
