Swimming

Yesterday, we had our first swim class and Ariela did great. There were two other babies in the class who were a bit older and more "experienced". We did some exercises in the water with a teacher and had some free time to play. It was hard to read my girl's face. Did she like it or not? She seemed a bit at lost first. After all it was a new environment for her. Then all of a sudden she would smile and make other parents and the teacher smile. She also got a few compliments from the teacher

I felt so unprepared at the end of the class. I didn't take the body wash, so A and I smelled like chlorine until we got home. Mental note for next time!

Mr. V took some pics of us. His words were "it looked like you were having more fun then Ariela". Duh...I tried to be happy for her, so that she wouldn't be afraid and would enjoy this new experience.

We'll go for another three weeks and will decide if it is something we want to continue doing :)
