Little Fish

Isabelle had her first swim lessons today at the Glen Park in Valencia. This park just happens to be one of the parks that I used to race at when I was on swim team, go to while at Summer camps and swim at when I was with a friend who lived over in that direction. What fond memories it brought back! But I do not remember our lifeguards being so young!

Lifeguard Olivia, who looked like she was still in or fresh out of high school, was in charge of our group down at the shallow end of the pool-of course. We meet for 2 weeks every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 5:45pm-6:15pm. In our class there are 8 kids between the ages of 8 months to 2 years and yesterday, 12 parents in the water. We practiced kicking, paddling or "scooping ice cream with your hands", blowing bubbles which Isabelle did not do but loved watching me so much that she would push my head down to do it again, lay/float on your back, superman glides to Olivia and back to me and of course, going under water! Our little fish did very well and I am sure is super excited to get back there on Wednesday. Hopefully Grandmama or Papa will be able to come with so we can get some pictures.

Meanwhile, here is our little fish in action at my friend's Baby Shower this past Saturday. Since I didn't bring her bathing suit, I let her put her feet in the pool but as I was chatting away, in she sat. Isabelle is definitely a water baby and boy oh boy, Huggies diapers can sure hold water (check out the last pic...J-Lo ain't got nothing on my baby!)
