On Saturday our little 3 month old started swimming lessons. He was by far the youngest child in the pool which had me slightly anxious and a tad embarrassed because I imagined all the other parents thinking to themselves "oh my god, look at those first time parents!". I quickly got over the stupid self-talk and was proud of Rowan and Daddy for getting right in there and playing. Of course Rowan couldn't participate in the ball games or the singing but he did float on his back, enjoyed licking (lapping) up the pool water and dunking. Yes--DUNKING. Daddy was more brave than I would have been that is for sure but now that I have watched them having so much fun, I think I will take my turn in the pool too. I just have to find a bathing suit that fits which even on a skinny good day is not an enjoyable task.
30 minutes of swimming flew by. I was stunned when the instructor said it was time to get out. I could have spent the whole day watching my boys. Rowan had his first wrinkled feet and hands at the end. Unfortunately we didn't get the best photos because we figured taking pictures might be highly frowned upon in an area full of half naked babies and so this is the only one I have. It was taken in our private family change area with my phone. Next time I will take a better one with my real camera.

Isn't it amazing that they *can* dunk? Just keep doing it and don't stop. As for the photo, I know that City of Toronto programs don't allow any photos at all unless you get permission from all the other families that are present. Strict, but not without cause.
