Amanda had her first swimming lesson yesterday!!
After I hired the nanny on Monday 1/5/09, I went to the YMCA and enrolled Amanda for the Mommy and Me Water Babies swimming class. I also got a family membership because we will enjoy a lot of savings on some of the classes that Savannah and the triplets will be doing. Savannah will be taking swimming lesions starting in February and she will also be taking a tap and ballet class as well as a gymnastic tumblers class. The triplets will also be doing a beginner gymventures class which is like gymboree.
I took Amanda to her first lesson on Tuesday 01/06/2009. We were surprised to find out we were the only ones that signed up for the class so we have a private class – woo hoo!! Amanda did so good. She got on the paddle board and hug on while I glided her through the water. We sang and bobbed together. We tried getting her to blow bubbles into the water but it really scared her. She also wouldn’t allow me to dunk her. I let her sit on the side of the pool and i helped her jump into the water. She really loved that. The lifeguard took tons of pictures and video of us. At the end of class she got to play with some fun water toys such as little boats and fishies that sprayed water. The instructor said I could rotate the triplets so that Miranda can go next week and Maryssa the following week. How cool is that!! I am going to the the Mommy and Me Water Baby Swim class for the triplets for next 3 months to help teach them the fundamentals of water safety and introduction to swimming. I take them every Tues. and Thurs. from 9:30-10am.
After the class, I took Amanda up to the babysitting area. YMCA offers FREE babysitting to members. This is a big reason why I joined!! So from 10am-10:45am I did a water aerobics class. Then I got dressed, picked up Amanda from babysitting, and we drove home.
February is when Savannah will begin all of her fun classes. I want to enjoy January just doing Mommy and Me Water Babies with the triplets and my water aerobics. February will be super busy adding all of Savannah’s classes to the schudule!!
