The day after we got back from the beach, Laina had her very first swim class. Laina and her three little friends got to be alone in the pool with Patrick, the lifeguard. I’m pretty sure Patrick is her new best friend as she has talked about him a lot since Friday, and even made up a song about him and how he will be teaching her to swim under water so she can find the sharks :). The first class basically consisted of kicking feet, blowing bubbles, bobbing in the water, jumping into the water. All of the kids really seemed to enjoy it, and it was really fun to watch them. Okay, and admittedly kind of nerve-racking since it was the first time Laina was in the pool without me or Sam. Actually, I ended up having to hop into the pool at some point when Patrick was in the middle of the pool with another child…and Laina decided she wanted to try to touch the bottom of the pool with her feet. Problem being that she’s not quite tall enough, so the poor thing just froze and looked up with me with these scared little eyes. So, as much as us mamas are excited for our kids to be doing this, I think we’ll all be very close by in case we need to dive in!
