Water Baby

We knew that Elijah loves his bath, but we weren't too sure if that meant he'd love the water in general. He started swimming lessons 3 weeks ago. The first lesson started out real well, until one of the other kids started screaming. The screaming became contagious real fast and so the rest of the swim class looked like this:

But that was 3 lessons ago. Now he's a fish, especially if toys are involved. At this age, the lessons are meant only to help him overcome any fear of the water and to teach him important safety rules. And, of course, to have fun. We imagine it will take a few years before he can actually swim on his own. ~Nasreen
