Joseph loves water

We started our Waterbabies class last Tuesday, and he had such a blast! I wasn't able to get a picture of him in his cute little swimsuit (thanks Auntie Lowie!) but I'll hopefully get one soon.

Joseph LOVES water, and he really, really enjoyed the pool. No fear here, and also no shut-the-mouth-underwater reflex - I think he drank at least a little of the pool because he was smiling while we were doing tummy swimming! He splashed a lot (and got me in the eyes a few times) but overall it was a big success! 7 more weeks to go. :)

However, Mom learned her lesson about needing an extra pair of hands: trying to get two wet people out of swimsuits, dried off, and dressed in a locker room is not easy to do, especially when one of them needs constant supervision! Next time I'm bringing the stroller in so I can stick him in there while I get ready. I was so exhausted by that alone that I was a grouchapotamus to my mom afterward (we go hang out at Grandma's on Tuesdays). Oh well. I learned something important: Have a place to pinion your child!
