one fish two fish.

We started swimming lessons today! It was a little hectic and upsetting before we got to the pool -- bad nap schedule, refusing to nurse, both mom and baby crying -- but we calmed down when we got there and had a good time. I talked another mom into taking our picture -- a little on the blurry side, but oh well.


Lorelei wasn't sure what she thought of having water poured over her head, which was the first part of our class, but otherwise she seemed to have a good time. We were supposed to blow bubbles at our babies and have them watch us, but she was not interested in what I was doing at all and stared at our swimming instructor Jeremy the whole time. (He adored her so it wasn't a problem -- he finally caved and came over to pinch her cheeks which I think he had been talking himself out of doing since class began. And he kept making little comments about how she should be a good floater -- if Lorelei could have understood him I think she would have been less inclined to gaze at him so intently!) During the part where we had our babies on their backs and were pushing them around in the water, she stuck her legs waaaaaay up in the air and kicked and kicked! I think her favorite part was at the end when we just got to play around -- by that point she had totally relaxed and was enjoying it. Once we got to the locker room, she nursed like she hadn't eaten in a week.

She's been conked out in her crib for an hour now -- mom needs a nap too. Looking forward to next week!
