Since I'm no longer home with Marla during the day, I decided to enroll her in swimming lessons at the YMCA so we'd have an evening activity together. We've been going for several weeks now and she loves it! The class is for children 3-36 months, but Marla's the only one under two years old. So while the other kids blow bubbles and learn to paddle and kick, Marla spends most of the time trying to eat the kickboards and floaty toys.
The good news is that she likes the water and seems to be getting more and more comfortable in it. In fact, yesterday we actually submerged her completely to see how she'd react. She came up sputtering a bit, but didn't cry. Success! Here are some pictures of our little fish.
All geared up for her first lesson:
Betsy wishing her luck:
"Mom! This is SO MUCH FUN!"
