Little Fishy

We started swimming lessons today and I think Aidan enjoyed himself. There was no crying, which is always a good sign. There weren't any other babies his age, and only 3 people in our group total, but we still had fun. Here's what we worked on today.

Things he can do:
-float on his back
-float on his tummy
-kick
-hold on to the edge of the pool as we walk/float back and forth
-grab toys that are underwater
-kick himself towards a floating toy


Things he cannot do:
-blow bubbles (he kept trying to lick the water, instead inhaling it, which led to coughing spells and me feeling embarrassed for letting my baby choke on water)
-climb out of the pool (duh, I don't know why this is a skill in the 6 month-1 year class)
-jump into the pool

Tomorrow we start the Creepers and Crawlers early childhood class. It's for 5-12 month olds, so hopefully Aidan can find a friend to do baby stuff with.
