Swim Lessons
My hubby's family loves the water... and they wanted to make sure that MJ loved the water too. So we decided to enroll him in a Baby & Me swim class. It's more of an introduction to water where the babies and mommies play with toys/games in the water and teach the babies how to kick and float.
Anyways, last Tuesday was the first Baby & Me swim lessons at the Rec Center. MJ cried the whole time we were in the water. The water was really cold so I see why he was crying. It was so cute though to see all the other babies in their bathing suits. Also, it's great because I get to talk with other moms and MJ gets to play with other babies his age. BUT the best part is that it is great exercise for me since swim class is twice a week for a whole month. Last Thursday was another class and this time MJ loved it. I knew he would be a water baby !
Since we decided to get MJ swimming lessons, I thought that I should learn how to swim too. (Just in case something happened in the water I can get to him.) So I enrolled myself in the adult swim classes--same days as MJ's swim lessons. By the second swim class, I learned how to swim. I still don't know how to come up for air and keep swimming at the same time... but I'll learn. I'm pretty proud of myself at how much I accomplished in just 2 classes. Class is for an hour and we swim back and forth 50 yards. So it is a great exercise for my arms, back, legs, everything. By the end of the month, I'll be fit. I just need to do situps on the side so that I can tighten my stomach muscles since having MJ... then I'll be fit.
