Last year, we put Clayton in a Water Babies class at the YMCA. He was about 6 months old at the time, and he already absolutely loved the water. At the time, he was really only old enough to get in and splash around. They do things like sing songs that incorporate dipping them into the water, blowing bubbles, taking them under, and jumping into their parents arms off of the side of the pool. We basically did the songs and the splashing, but that was about it! Both Scott and I wanted to enroll him again to keep his enthusiasm of water going. Boy is it a different story this time around! The pool starts shallow and gradually goes deeper. Clayton loved walking around in the shallow part, and had we let him, he would have kept on going right on in to the deep end! He also enjoyed splashing, floating on his back with daddy's help, singing along with the songs, going under the water, and jumping off of the side into our arms. It is just amazing how fast they grow and learn! We are also looking forward to taking the class with Clayton's good friend Owen! He is enrolled in the class as well. He didn't get to come on this night, but I'm sure more posts and pictures will be coming in the future of the buddies together.
