Swim lessons

Yes, swim lessons in January! Luckily, they are indoors in a very warm pool. We decided to sign up Claire for swim lessons before summer just so that she will be used to the water. I got nominated to go in the pool since it is parent and toddler class. It is not fun to put on a swim suit in January with super white skin and after I hadn't been to the gym in over a month (or maybe two). Andrew actually starting taking swim lessons when he was 9 months old, so we felt Claire was overdue. Much to our surprise Claire LOVES the lessons. Claire tends to be a bit shy with new people or things.
She likes the games, the teacher, the water, everything! Everyday I come home from work she asks if today is a swimming day. I am pretty sure that she would wear her suit everyday if let her.

When you say, "big breath, eyes in" she puts her face in the water. She isn't scared at all. She doesn't like her wet hair in her eyes though. My mom says that when I was younger than Claire I took swim lessons and could swim to the edge by myself. Claire just might be our little water baby too!
