Swimming with daddy

Normally your mum takes you swimming on a Friday but as it was school holidays I got to take you swimming instead. We arrived nice and early and were able to watch all the other babies in the pool. It looked like you were pretty excited.  Your Granny even turned up to see you in the water which was a surprise.  
The instructor lady got us in the water and moving you around in lots of different directions. This was to get you used to the feel of the water moving past you. Then she gave us a cup that had holes in it. We had to sign a 'tickle rain' song and put the water over your head. You are really good at this because we put your head under the water all the time in the shower.











The instructor was so pleased with your progress that she said we could dunk you if I was happy to. Your Daddy being a caring person was more than happy to have the instructor put you under the water.

We counted 1 - 2 - 3 and she put you deep under the water. You knew to hold your breath and when you came up you had a big smile on your face. There were some babies that didn't really enjoy it but you loved it.  I was so pleased with how you did that I dunked you two more times during the lesson. 

You are a really good swimmer already and your mum and dad are so proud of you. The only time that you cried was when we pulled you out of the water.
