I've been forgetting and forgetting to mention the swim lessons! Delphinium and her dad have been attending baby swim classes for the last several weeks now, and they are the cutest pair of swimmers you will ever see. We get up early on Sunday mornings, grab suits and towels and head off to the pool. Once there it's a mad dash to suit both before the teacher calls for the next class to come down. I hold her at the edge of the pool so she can learn to "wait" for Daddy.
Once in the pool, she becomes not a giggly fish, but a very solemn little person. This is serious! She watches everything, and waits to see what the next activity might be. The funny part is that M is equally intent. The two of them are even working on dunking her head under water after he gives her a signal to let her know it's coming. I must admit that first time was a little shocking for me, but she seems to be figuring it out quite well. The other kids, songs, games, and toys also help out quite bit in making it an entertaining activity. The last bit is playtime on a big foam board. All the kids crowd on, and there is a pile of floatie toys in the middle. It is such a cute moment watching them all out there together, but of course none are as cute as our own little Delphinium in her pink ruffled bathing suit.
