Abbey and I started a Tiny Tots swim class this week with her good friend Brendan and Mommy's good friend Colleen. Colleen was on the sidelines while her husband, Brian, wore the trunks this week. GMa Sharon came with us, as well. It was great to have the extra hands while we figure out how to get in and out of the pool and all dried off with the babes in tow. Abbey and I hope Daddy can come at least once, since he is the one that loves to swim.
I was a little worried about the whole swimming concept, because Abbey has only started to enjoy her baths very recently, and this was a LOT more water than her little tub. The water ended up being very chilly, and the poor kids were shivering and a little purple-lipped by the end of the lesson. However, Abbey seemed to have a great time. She really loves being around other kids, even though they don't always "talk" back to her.
We had fun, and I am glad that we decided to take the plunge. Abbey mostly checked out the people and cooperated while I tried to help her "kick" and float. Maybe we will try blowing bubbles next week! Hopefully they warm the water up a little...
