Kaitlyn did awesome. There are about 8 families in the class. The first day we learned how to float on our tummys and on our backs. Kaitlyn wasn't a big fan of floating on our back. Practise makes perfect. We also learned how to jump into the pool into mommy's arms. At first she wanted to hold mommy's hands, but after a few attempts she was jumping in without holding hands and mommy catching her.
Mommy also dunked Kaitlyn which wasn't the funniest part of the lesson. The good news is that Kaitlyn was more shocked than upset. The teacher would start to talk to Kaitlyn and she would tell me: "I don't like him." I have to keep telling her that we have to be nice to the teacher because he is going to teach us how to swim. Hopefully she will get used to him by the end of the class.
At the end of the lesson when it was time to get out of the pool, Kaitlyn decided she wasn't done. The only way I could get her out was to ask her if her fingers were pruny. She said yes. So, I told her that means it is time to get out of the pool. That seemed to work.
I don't have any good pictures of us in the pool. Nana and daddy have come to watch, but all the pictures are dark and hard to tell where we are in the group.
Kaitlyn waiting for swimming lessons to begin. She didn't want to look at the camera. At least she is smiling.
