So awhile back I had heard about a swim class for kids under 2 that teaches them to become comfortable with water and how to basically save themselves if they fall in. They learn to flip themselves onto their back and kick until they run into something solid then they raise their arm over their head and grab it until someone comes. Cool, huh? Well I grew up around water my whole life and we hope to do the same with hallie so this week we started our swim class. It was a lot of fun although a little chilling after being in the water for close to an hours. We started learning how to float on our backs, grabbing the side, blowing bubbles underwater, and kicking. Hallie did great she is the youngest in her class ages ranging from 7 months to 2 years but the teacher said it's the best to start them young. It was even quite the workout for the moms. Hallie was so tired by the time we were done she fell asleep in her carseat before we even got to the freeway. Hopefully she will continue to learn useful tools so if she ever has to save herself she can. We got there a few minutes late so next time I will get more pics. On May 13 Hallie's 1st tooth popped through on the bottom left side and then on the 15th the bottom right side popped through when they are through so I can get a pic. She has been a little more fussy than usual but rightly so I think cutting teeth would hurt!
