Swim Lessons

We went to Liam's first swim lesson today which is more about getting them comfortable in the water. One of our neighbors invited us, and I'm so glad she did. There were actually 4 families from our neighborhood there! Liam loves bath time, and splashes so much that our whole bathroom gets wet. I figured he would love the pool, but he took a while to get comfortable. Treston was there to take pictures, but I'm thinking he will get in the next three lessons. We were late (of course) so we didn't get the time to get use to the pool. He clung on to me so most of the time I just sang the songs while he looked around worried. Just as Liam was getting comfortable the teacher had us sit them on the wall to do Humpty Dumpty. There wasn't enough room for the whole class so she tried to get us to a better wall in a deeper area. As you all know I'm a shorty so I was struggling to keep Liam, and myself above water. Liam ended up going under as I was trying to get us back on the other side. He of course was crying the rest of the time, but no one seemed to be bothered by it. He calmed down, and even splashed a little. At the end they had us lay them on their backs with their head on our shoulder. Liam cooperated, but I'm pretty sure it's just because he loves looking at ceilings. We survived, and will be on time and better prepared next week. Here are a few pictures...

As you can see I'm wearing a shirt over my bikini. Since we have our own pool I don't mind wearing a bikini, but I totally need to get an appropriate "mom" bathing suit. If you have any suggestions on where to get one please let me know!
