My kid is a fish

Today Melanie had her second swim lesson. I always expected her to really enjoy the time in the pool because she loves bath time and she loved being in the pool when we were in Hawaii. But last, week, during her first lesson she was uber fusssy. The lessons are parent-and-me style with 5 child/parent pairs and the instructor. .I think last week, it was a combination of us rushing to get there thus her not getting a complete feeding and there being way too much stimulation. She did okay, but was not the chipper little girl we expected. Today on the other hand, she had the parents watching in the waiting area laughing. She was up to her typical tongue out, shreeking and smiling self. Today we worked on "big arms", kick kick kicking, floating on our backs and safe getting in and out of the pool. Melanie loved it all. She loved it so much, she kept trying to put her face under water. So I did what any mom would do...dunked her! No sweat. She came up with those big beautiful eyes wide open and looking around. Piece of cake.
