Super Water Baby!

This evening was Sofia's first Super Water Babies swim class! She "graduated" last Wednesday from her Water Babies swim class, which included me holding onto her while she swam to songs and did different swim exercises. The class was in the mid-morning, but is now at 5pm! I actually had to wake Sofia up from a three-plus hour nap in order to get her to class on time, and once there she did a great job! I not only got to stay out of the water and enjoy her progress, but I also was able to take pictures of our little fish! Here she is in all her glory!

All set to go to 'swim class' - She had to bring along all of her buddies, but they stayed in the car during her class (except for Green Beup Beup who watched from my bag)


Miss Laura puts flippers on Sofia and Isabella. I know Thelma and Isabella from my Mom's group and it's fun to be doing the class together. The hardest part of the entire class is that the girls have to sit on their turtle and wait their turn.


There she goes! Sofia swam out to Miss Laura then swam back to her turtle.

Waiting her turn while Isabella swims. M&Ms (Sofia knows them as 'treats') are huge incentive to convince little girls to stay on turtles. Miss Laura hands each girl one M&M after each swim - great incentive!

A new use for a ballon - a pillow for a sleepy gal. We went to Central Market to pick up a few groceries and she ended up using the ballon as a pillow after she played with it.


Cute girl!
