Camden is taking his first swim class and loves it! He gets really excited and splashes around in the water. He even gets to go under. I wasn't so sure at first about that part, but the instructor taught us to blow in their face (which I thought was mean) and then put them under. I guess babies suck in when you blow in their face. After a couple times of doing it though, it wasn't so bad. Camden doesn't really know what to think of that part but he doesn't cry or anything. The point of this class is to get him comfortable in the water and I know going under is part of it. He LOVES "jumping" off the side! He laughs and shrieks when I lift him up and then down into the water. He tries to imitate me blowing bubbles in the water but just ends up opening his mouth and drinking some of it. The class is 30 minutes and then it takes almost another 30 minutes at the end of class to get him showered, dried, changed, and for me to get changed. Most of the moms just put the babies in the shower with them and then change them into p.j.'s so they are ready for bed for the night. The class ends at 6:00 so it works out well since they are so exhausted after the class.
He used to make this face all the time then stopped for a few months. Now he
makes it when he's excited or sees something he insterested in. It's hilarious.
It's kind of hard to see, but this is Camden on his back kicking in the water.
