Tot Swim Class - Day 2

We had a better day at swimming today. Abby was a lot more comfortable and actually did most everything we asked her to do. There was a lot of leg kicking going on! She kicked her legs while floating both on her back and her belly. Big improvement over last session. She also even tried blowing bubbles in the water, but she didn't quite get the blowing part down. And she again jumped off the edge - but it was only because she really, really wanted her mother. We had a much more enjoyable swim. Still quite a bit of crying, but at the end I threw her up into the air and caught her. That got a few smiles and laughs out of her.

Another great development from swim class was meeting another doctor's wife who stays at home with her 21 month old boy. We even got invited to the playgroup that she is in on Tuesdays, so it should be a great way for Abby to get more exposure to other kids and help me meet some new friends. And, most importantly, swim class has tired Abby right out, so she's been sleeping for almost 2 hours now :-) I've cleaned the entire living space, swept, and cleaned the kitchen. Hooray for free time!
