Earlier this spring, We put Dexter in swimming lessons. He has always been afraid of swimming so we thought that lessons would help. We enrolled him at the YMCA here in Council Bluffs in the "shrimp" class, which was "a parent and me" class. It worked wonders. He did amazing and now loves to swim. YAY! Because he did so well, and because our apartments were sold and are now under new management and we weren't told we couldn't have swimming pools this summer, I bought him a little inflatable pool to play in. We go out in the early morning (7:30-8 am) after breakfast and before it becomes a sauna outside, and he gets to play. This last time, I found a bubble machine on clearance that I bought, and had it going for him too. He had fun splashing in the backyard next to our tomatoes, chasing the bunnies trying to eat their breakfast, and chasing after the bubbles.
The pool isn't very big so he lays down on his belly, kicks his legs, and says "swimming, swimming". Ha, ha, what a cutie!
And what swimming time isn't complete without a Popsicle?
He likes to play with shadows and here he is saying "hi Mommy!" to mine.
Not too bad for some homemade summertime fun!
